Biography

Early life and education

Vietti was born on July 24, 1948, in Eureka, Kansas. After graduating high school, Vietti graduated from Kansas State University as a biology major in 1970, Emporia State University in 1971 with her secondary teaching certificate, and completed her master's of science at Pittsburg State University in 1982. In 1991, she finished her doctorate from Kansas State. Following graduation, she worked at Labette County Community College until 1995.

Career

Butler Community College presidency

In October 1995, Vietti became Butler Community College's fourth president, as well as its first woman president. During her time as president, Vietti increased enrollment between 1995 and 2010 when the college had reached a total of 10,116 students, an increase of 21%, making it one of the largest public community colleges in Kansas.

During her tenure, Vietti was responsible for the construction of a $12 million sports complex in partnership with the El Dorado Public Schools and city of El Dorado. Vietti also created a partnership that involves nearly 20 higher education institutions in the Midwest in hopes of increasing certificate/degree completion rates. Vietti retired on December 31, 2012.

The federal court found Emporia State University guilty of retaliation towards the Hales under Title VII, making it the first self-represented litigant to defeat a public university.
