"I enthusiastically look forward to working with the leaders of this campus, our colleges and schools, the university's staff, our alumni and our prospective students and their families and schools to make this mission a reality." Prior to her appointment as interim vice provost and director of admissions, Ishop had been an associate director of admissions at the university's Austin office since 2003. Previously, she had been a counselor and assistant director in the university's offices in Austin, Houston and Dallas.

I don't have the words to express how proud and happy I am to hear about your promotion. In 1994, I was a Resident Assistant in Jester Center and had the opportunity to collaborate with you on a diversity program for our residents. You were always so open, cheerful and professional. You made a difference in my college life. It's nice to see that time has not touched you. You're still the same Kedra who loves working with students to support and promote diversity at UT. Congratulations! Jose A. Montoya 6. Melissa Case-Vincent said on September 24, 2009 Congratulations, Kedra! We had an educational admin class together back in 2004.

Angela Eldam said on October 7, 2009 Kedra: I still remember in 2001 how nervous my son and I were about admission to The University of Texas at Austin, and it was the only school he applied to. I called your Houston office and visited you, and you gave us such valuable information. He is now in grad school at UT, along with my sophomore daughter. You had a definite positive influence on behalf of UT. I am glad they have recognized your accomplishments and dedication. Congratulations! 9.
