Colleagues describe her as "I have the fortunate chance to work with Cathy while working for two years at The Higher Colleges of Technology (HCT) in the Middle East. At the time I arrived there I was just finishing up my Doctorate of Education in Instructional Technology and Distance Education. My EdD program had mostly been online, which meant I met little with my faculty and other students in my program. Therefore, I had lacked for extensive interactions with peers, particularly veterans in the field that could impart wisdom to me, and I lacked in mentors to work with. When I met Cathy I could tell she encompassed all these things. Cathy quickly became a leader at HCT for digital scholarship, and technology use in education. As the Associate Director, she led major initiatives for the nation-wide system, including iPad implementation in classrooms and many professional development events for faculty. She was so brilliant, and so great to work with, that I quickly attached myself to her, and 'made' her my mentor! She had an entire campus to manage, and was super busy, but still, she always made time for me or anyone that would seek out her expertise. She had/has so many years of experience in the field of ed tech and eLearning, and knows the research in the field so well, that I found that even a 5-minute conversation with Cathy would provide amazing insight and guidance, and inspire me and motivate me in my projects. I would totally recommend her for any innovative education project or post, and would love to work with her again if ever the chance comes up. " and "I had the privilege to work with Dr. Cavanaugh while she was an associate director for Academics in ADWC. During our work together during a short time span we saw huge changes to the work environment. Dr. Cavanaugh expressed a deep commitment to the organization. She had very strong work and academic ethics giving me a lot to learn from. She showed keen interests in applying emerging technologies into the classroom. In short it was a great experience working with her."
