Amy R. Hopkins, Assistant Director
The Co-op and Internship Program

It is with great pleasure that I join the team of career professionals in the KSU Career Services Center. My primary focus will be on cooperative education and internships with plans to develop and implement a marketing strategy that will help foster continued growth in numbers of students participating in this valuable program. I believe that the best career choices are made based on experience, and that future career satisfaction is directly related to how much information one has when making an initial career path decision. The more experience one has, the better decision one can make!

I have worked in higher education for more than 18 years, with 13 years of direct experience in career services. I have additional experience in international services, services for students with disabilities, academic advising, and student activities, and I hope to capitalize on this additional experience to develop partnerships with campus offices and student groups for coop/internship programming.

I hold a Master’s degree in Guidance and Counseling from Southeast Missouri State University and a Bachelor’s in Secondary Education/English from Appalachian State University. In my spare time, I like to travel, read, quilt, and spend time with family and friends.
