Connor Kenney
Connor is finishing his last undergraduate semester at Western Kentucky University this spring. He will be graduating with a Bachelor’s in Strategic Marketing with plans to pursue his MBA from Western Kentucky University.
Having a desire to learn and lead at a high level has been a point of emphasis for Connor at every level. All the way back to grade school when he was on the math and academic teams helping them finish 1st every year he was involved. In middle school he was invited to participate in the Duke Talent Identification Program. His interest in business emerged in high school which led to him joining the Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA). In 2016 he led a business financial plan project that placed 3rd at the FBLA state competition, qualifying to compete at the nation level.
During his time at Western Kentucky University, he served as an officer of the Pi Kappa Alpha Fraternity. While in this position he helped organize philanthropy and social events, in which he crowdfunded donations via social media marketing. In the spring of 2018 Western Kentucky University selected him to the National Society of Leadership and Success.
Growing up playing sports has allowed him to excel in leadership roles as well as team-work scenarios. Through past experience and training he has grasped an understanding of the dynamics of a team and what it takes to operate one effectively. To further improve his leadership-skills he completed Your Leadership Edge program offered by the Kansas Leadership Center in 2021.
