Kaplan said that Koziatek has been an advocate for women, both at UNH and prior to UNH, when she mentored 13 women.

Koziatek, who also serves as UNH’s Title IX coordinator and diversity officer, is "a highly respected member of my administration throughout the campus, particularly as a passionate and invaluable advocate for women," Kaplan added.

Koziatek said she feels that mentoring is critically important. "I’ve been given a gift of a senior level position. It’s my responsibility to use that to develop others to achieve the same gift," she said. "My greatest achievements are the achievements of others whom I have impacted in any way."
