Kate Carpenter

Kate Carpenter (or K. Carp as she calls herself) loves to talk to people almost as much as she loves higher education. Carp is the first to ask a service worker how long they have worked somewhere and the very last to leave a party. Education lobbyist by day and lead director of the 2024 Glen Powell Look-Alike contest by night, Kate’s main contribution to the Glyptodon is her column “It’s Strange: Unfamiliar Faces in Familiar Places”.

Kate is ambitious and is constantly doing her part to Keep Austin Weird. Join along on her journey to highlight the city’s most interesting, peculiar, and, sometimes conventional, individuals.
