Favorite place on SU campus: The small, strange stairway, with an inaccessible chair that my son is convinced is a secret passage way to the vending machines.

Dr. Steve Katsikas
Dr. Steve Katsikas is a professor in the School of Professional Psychology and has been instrumental in Spalding University's efforts to secure grants that support student education and training. He has developed his working knowledge of grants administration through the writing and running of four federal grants awarded to Spalding over the past 10 years (7.5 million dollars). Many other departments, faculty, and staff at Spalding have been successful in securing external contracts, grants, and resources, necessitating the development of a new Office of Sponsored Programs and Research (OSPRe). Dr. Katsikas is thrilled to be working with the Advancement team to continue to build supports for students and faculty.
Favorite place on SU campus: The first floor of Mansion, where I enjoy playing the piano when no one is around.
