Christine Lockard

Events and Special Projects Manager

Christine Lockard has been within Smeal at Penn State since January 2020 and had worked previously with the university from 2010 to 2015.  She received her Bachelor of Science degree in Hospitality Management from Penn State in 2015. Before working at Smeal, she was a Catering Coordinator for Panera Bread. While at Penn State, Christine worked in the Berkey Creamery on campus. After graduation, Christine worked at Enterprise Holding until 2016.

In her role as the Events and Special Projects Manager, Christine provides event management and scheduling assistance for corporate activities and events throughout the year. She serves as the initial point of contact for companies interested in hosting recruiting events with Smeal undergraduate students. She also oversees some of the larger scale events held by the Business Career Center including the Corporate Partner Career Fair and MegaFair. She is also involved in research and special projects to improve processes and efficiency in the Business Career Center.

Christine’s favorite part about working in the BCC is getting to work with recruiters to coordinate their events and create a great experience for students. She enjoys getting to see all the behind the scenes that go into putting on a campus event. She also enjoys getting to work as a team with a great group of people in the BCC office. 

In her spare time, Christine loves to travel (one of the items on her bucket list is to visit all 50 states)! Christine also enjoys to bake and read in her spare time. She also loves spending time with friends at campfires, movie nights, and tailgates.

Christine’s favorite thing about Penn State is the sense of community and getting to meet a wide range of individuals. She also loves being at her alma mater, We Are… Penn State!
