Kendra Key
@kendrakey
I coordinate student support programs, inclusive engagement initiatives, and campus-wide resource access.
What I'm looking for
I'm coordinating individualized support and resource navigation for 10,000 incoming and transfer students at Kennesaw State University, connecting academic, personal, and social concerns with appropriate campus and community resources.
At Kennesaw State University's Cultural Awareness Resource Center, I planned 39 community-centered events engaging 3,000+ students, managed a $7,300 budget, and used program data to improve student experience. I also built a social media presence from zero to 350 engaged organic followers through a data-driven digital media strategy.
Previously, as a Graduate Assistant with Georgia College & State University's Women's Center & LGBTQ+ Programs, I helped deliver roughly 65 programs, trainings, and events, supervised eight student staff members, and supported 99 community menstruation stations. My work has centered on belonging, accessibility, inclusion, student wellbeing, and practical resource connection.
I'm experienced in cross-functional collaboration, stakeholder engagement, program operations, budgeting, event planning, student advising, and inclusive community-building. I bring a student-first approach to managing complex initiatives and creating support systems that help students thrive.
