这是肯·康奈尔
“This noble university is located in the best place in the nation for students to learn, 是门徒, and become prepared to follow God’s vocational call.——肯·康奈尔
肯·康奈尔, an alumnus of 西雅图 Pacific University, is a leader with nearly three decades of experience in higher education.
Known for his ability to align vision and mission with enrollment, 市场营销, and 筹款 strategy, Ken has a longstanding connection to SPU. After transferring from UC Berkeley, he graduated with a bachelor’s degree in English in 1985 from SPU and came back to 西雅图 Pacific after a few years of work in corporate positions and an NGO overseas. He later earned an MBA from SPU in 1994.
Ken's journey at SPU began as the director of Undergraduate 招生, a role he held for six years in the late 1990s. He gradually advanced to the position of assistant 副总统 for 市场营销 and admissions. In the latter part of his career at SPU, he concentrated on senior leadership within external relations in University Advancement, and later served a three-year term as the alumni and parent relations director.
近10年来, Ken held the role of senior 副总统 over enrollment, 筹款, and 市场营销 at Northwest University in Kirkland, 华盛顿. 在他任职期间, Ken worked with faculty leadership to launch new academic programs, leverage the university's church relationships, and maintain a close working relationship with the Northwest University president and board. 在一起, they made strategic decisions that positively impacted revenue generation through enrollment, 筹款, and 市场营销 endeavors.
With a strong attachment to his alma mater, Ken brings substantial experience. He describes his return to SPU as a compelling journey of faith, one where he has felt God’s calling “every step of the way.”
