Faculty & Staff Profile

Gita Varner, a graduate of the class of 2005, returned to Rowland Hall in 2015 in the role of database and office manager in the Development Office. In the spring of 2020, Gita moved into the role of helping Rowland Hall respond to the COVID-19 pandemic and work on general school safety measures. After earning her degree at Gustavus Adolphus College in religion, Gita worked as a warehouse manager and as a fundraiser and database manager for a community choral group in Minnesota for five years before returning to Salt Lake City. Gita is glad to be back at home and working for her alma mater. From her high school days, Coach Kathy Howa remembers Gita this way: “She worked for us in the Athletic Department, and we referred to her as Radar O’Reilly from the TV show M*A*S*H. She knew what needed to be done before we ever needed it done. Gita has an amazing work ethic and was last one to leave at night, making sure nothing was left undone.”
