Quinn Sawyer

I’m an experienced and detail-oriented professional with over 18 years of success supporting executive leadership and managing operations in academic and clinical education environments. My career at Michigan State University has centered on fostering collaboration, improving administrative efficiency, and building strong connections across departments and communities.

With a foundation in journalism and public affairs from Central Michigan University, I bring strong communication skills, organizational insight, and a collaborative approach to every project. I’m passionate about creating clarity, supporting leadership initiatives, and contributing to environments where people and programs can thrive.

Currently serving as Executive Secretary in the College of Human Medicine’s Office of Academic Affairs, I coordinate complex projects, manage communications, and ensure seamless organizational operations. Previously, as Academic Program Coordinator in the School of Social Work, I oversaw admissions and academic administration for the MSW program, balancing strategic goals with hands-on support for students, faculty, and partners.

I have a Bachelor degree from Central Michigan University. I studied Journalism and public affairs. While employed at Michigan State University I received my Certification in Human Resource Specialist.
