From 1994 until 2001, she served as Newsletter Editor for The Nineteenth Century Studies Association.  She has served on the Board of Directors of that organization, and has also sat on the Board of the National Association of Self-Instructional Language Programs (NASILP).

In addition to her work in the French Department, Professor Kruger is currently the Director of Davidson's Self-Instructional Languages Program.
