Paige Short joins Engagement and Belonging after previously serving as a project manager within University Marketing and Communications. In this role, she oversaw cross-media recruitment and reputation publications with specialization in accessible document compliance. Since beginning her career at Tech, she has been an active university senator, member of Staff Council, and various other committees and groups.

Paige brings her passion for issues of diversity and inclusion to her role, focusing on streamlining operations and communications, connecting stakeholders with change makers, and helping find places where process needs a bit of a nudge in the right direction. As a social justice change agent, Paige is a firm advocate for listening first and being willing to admit things need changing. She believes higher education should be for everyone who wants it and diversity work should be shared work.

A proud Michigan Tech alumna, Paige earned her bachelor of science degree in scientific and technical communication, along with minors in media production and psychology.
