Get to Know Karissa
A Boilermaker from the Beginning
Growing up in Lafayette, her love for Purdue started early; however, her passion for Purdue really grew once she became an alumnus. After graduating from Purdue she moved across the country multiple times and realized what it means to be a Purdue Family. She started finding that Purdue Family when she moved to Texas to attend law school and began attending local alumni club events.
She then moved to Colorado where she took on her first Alumni Club leadership role. She went on to serve as President of the Purdue Alumni Club of Colorado, Purdue Alumni Club of Fort Wayne and most recently the Purdue Alumni Club of Central Ohio. She was awarded a Purdue Alumni Association Outstanding Young Alumni Award in 2014. She is currently serving in her first term as an East Region Director for the Purdue Alumni Association.
