Laura Rudolph joined the Kentucky Wesleyan team in January 2023. Bringing substantial experience in both education administration and business, Rudolph’s skillset provides a unique fit to lead the college’s Career programming. In addition to working with students and alumni on career exploration, resume development, and interview practice, Rudolph plans to develop meaningful relationships with the local business community and beyond to provide program support and job/internship opportunities for our alumni and students. Spearheading existing programs—Leadership Wesleyan, Panther Career Ally Program, and Wesleyan at Work, she will also manage the College’s prospective employer/employee database (Handshake) and will utilize social media to provide better program exposure to prospective employers and external audiences.
