We have a new face in the Dean's Office, and you will see her all over the place!

Kevyn Heckler is the Program Manager of Recruitment and Specialized Aid Programs. She will be helping bring students to WKU and assist them with scholarships and grants.

Kevyn has tons of experience and knowledge of higher education and WKU. "I have worked in Admissions, University Libraries, and Housing and Residence Life across five total institutions throughout Kentucky, Southern Indiana, and Colorado. I earned my Master of Arts in Education in Student Affairs in Higher Education ('24), as well as my Bachelor of Arts in Sociology ('21), both right here at WKU!"

Her favorite thing about WKU is "there are always new people to meet and new experiences to discover."

Fun facts about Kevyn: "I have a cat named Bunny, I am an amateur cyclist, I love traveling (particularly to Disney), and I collect fountain pens!"

We're so glad you're part of the CEBS family!
