From her LinkedIn profile, "Katherine's heart is in her work as the Vice President of Information Technology at Soles4Souls, a nonprofit turning shoes and clothing into opportunity. She is putting her MBA from Bowling Green State University to good use while embracing the power of storytelling she learned at Carnegie Mellon University where she completed her BFA in Drama, emphasis in Production Technology and Management."

From BGSU: Katherine Eboch is an MBA student with an unusual academic background. She graduated from Carnegie Mellon University with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in production technology and management with emphasis in stage management, production management, and technical direction. Based on her theatre experience, she makes many connections on the service and nonprofit aspects of supply chain management. Since starting her MBA, Eboch has excelled in leadership and earned remarkable accolades. She was awarded the Jill Carr Outstanding Graduate Student Award at the Graduate Student Senate Awards ceremony and the Capital One ISM Scholarship to attend the ISM 2016 Conference in Indianapolis, which encouraged her to cultivate a supply chain environment that is diverse, innovative and disruptive. She was also selected to participate in BGSU's LeaderShape Institute, a six-day retreat which pushes students to develop leadership skills with integrity. Eboch continues to serve as the vice president of marketing and communications for the Women in Business Leadership student organization, and as part of the incoming executive board, she participated in the Penn State Powerful Women Paving the Way conference in April. Additionally, she served as president of SCMA, where she participated in the MidAtlantic District Competition and helped coordinate numerous events. When she finishes her presidential role with SCMA, she will move to an awards commitment for fall. Besides her career achievements, Eboch continues to work to give back to the community. In September, she received the 2016 APICS Student Voluntary Service Award in September. She was also designated as a Rotary Zones 28 & 29 “40 under 40” Young Professional and attended the organization’s summit in Cleveland. She maintains her involvement in local theatre as well, while also working as a graduate assistant with the Center for Community and Civic Engagement; she said she hopes to continue working in the nonprofit arts sector after graduation. An education abroad experience in Strasbourg, France during the first summer session will add an international perspective to her future leadership success.
