Louisa Duley

Director of Admissions for Outreach
I’ve been part of the Oredigger family for nearly 25 years. Born and raised in Salida, I went to college in Gunnison, which is why I love Golden and am so passionate about helping small-town Colorado students. Though I’m the smallest member of our team, I’m big on dedication when it comes to supporting first-year students interested in Mines.
I focus on leading recruitment efforts and work closely with athletes and coaches, and direct SUMMET, our signature Summer Mines Engineering Training program. Oh, and when the team needs a pick-me-up, I’m known for serving up my famous traditional Italian lasagna! I live in Arvada with my husband and daughter, and when I’m not off to warmer climates, you can find me skiing, hiking, or boating in beautiful Colorado.
