Kathryn Manteuffel became university director for IU Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) in September 2021. In this role, she provides direction for EHS across all Indiana University campuses, including oversight of EHS service contracts with Eskenazi Hospital and IU Health hospitals and clinics within Indianapolis and the surrounding communities. She oversees 40+ talented professional staff members across the 17 IU academic and medical campuses in the areas of biological safety, diving safety, environmental safety, industrial hygiene/occupational safety, public health, laboratory safety, and radiation safety. Her commitment to educating, empowering, and inspiring excellence in the health and safety of the university community and the environment where we live, learn, and work is second only to her passion for developing/coaching EHS staff to exceed their own goals and expectations.
Prior to this most recent appointment, Kathryn served IU as associate university director for EHS, providing leadership and operational oversight for the development of policy, strategy, and comprehensive support of programs for EHS for all Indiana University campuses toward the overarching goal of protecting the university community and the natural environment, while ensuring compliance with all applicable policies, rules, and regulations.
Manteuffel has also served as regional director of EHS, providing leadership and oversight for all of IU’s regional campuses (IU East, IU Kokomo, IU Northwest, IU Southeast, and IU South Bend).
She has been employed by Indiana University since 1995.
Kathryn maintains a certificate/license as an asbestos building inspector in the State of Indiana, food protection manager, and most recently became an open water certified scuba diver.
