Rebecca (Becky) Kunz, M.S.

Visiting Instructor, School of Nursing 

While earning her master’s degree in organizational leadership in 2014 from the University of Northwestern, Becky Kunz began researching generational workforce trends and a match was lit. Becky’s capstone research involved asking the question: what factors, characteristics, or biases hinder the flow of tacit knowledge between millennials, generation Xers, and baby boomers. Before coming to UP School of Nursing, Becky worked at the University of Minnesota’s School of Nursing as their population health & systems assistant. She also worked directly with the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) as a regional program director of a TEAM STEPPS Master Train the Trainer team at the University of Minnesota. Her passion lies within the intersection of how we pass and create new knowledge while leveraging social capital and adult learning theories to build and grow a new generation of talent. She is a Southern California native who loves spending any amount of time outside rain, snow, or shine.
