In the fall of 2022, the University of Pikeville welcomed Kaitlyn Zeller to the Office of Advancement. Zeller’s role as director of advancement-graduate programs, allows her to establish long-term partnerships and strengthen existing relationships with alumni and other partners for the benefit of UPIKE’s graduate programs, including the Kentucky College of Osteopathic Medicine (KYCOM) and the Kentucky College of Optometry (KYCO).
Zeller received her bachelor’s degree in organizational management from Asbury University and brings extensive experience in the nonprofit medical field from her previous roles.
One of Zeller’s objectives is to increase alumni engagement and she is excited for the creativity that accompanies her new role.
“My goal is to build new relationships while strengthening current ones with both KYCOM and KYCO alumni,” said Zeller. “I’m excited to get to know more alumni and friends and learn how the university shaped their careers and impacted their lives.”
In addition to connecting with alumni across the country, Zeller looks forward to joining the university in creating opportunities for alumni and students.
