McGee said she’s delighted to be joining the leadership team at her alma mater. “The faculty and staff of St. Cloud State and the St. Cloud area community provided me as a young, first-generation college student the education, skills and experience that have led to a successful career in private industry, higher education and public service.” She added, “Now, it is my turn to give back, to ensure a strong and sustainable learning and working environment.”
McGee has been vice president of finance and administration and chief financial officer at Augsburg College in the Twin Cities since 2010. She has more than 20 years of experience in financial analysis, strategic planning, project management, team development and regulatory compliance.

Her other experience includes stints at General Mills, Donaldson Company and H.B. Fuller in the Twin Cities and Mark VII Equipment and Colorado Chautauqua Association, both in Colorado.
