Kelly Benkert

Coordinator, Student Leadership

Through my role as program coordinator, I work with our Student Leaders for the Common Good program, a year-long intensive program that engages students in leading a variety of service projects in the community. I also oversee the CSCE’s immersion trips, the Vocational Exploration Fellowship, the Community Leadership Fellowship, and lead SU’s advocacy skills trainings throughout the year. Additionally, I’m an adjunct faculty member in the Liberal Studies Program and have the pleasure of working with undergraduate peer educators to engage students in both classroom and experiential learning. Prior to coming to SU, I worked for non-profits as an organizer, advocate, and social justice educator. I hold a master’s degree in Student Development Administration, and am convinced that I have the best job on campus.
