Shannon Chipman
Academic Coordinator, Early Outreach Program
What I do: I have the privilege of working with students across Southeast Indiana who are just discovering their career potential and how an early start on the right academic path can help them reach their goals. College and career planning starts long before senior year, and through education and activities, I help students prepare for their next chapter. I’m excited to work with and support students and schools throughout the region!
Background: Through my career with Purdue Extension as a health and human sciences and 4-H youth development educator, I’ve had the opportunity to educate youth and their families on topics ranging from health to financial resources. I was a first-generation college student, and my graduate project focused on career and job skills preparation, so career readiness is a passion of mine.
More about me: My favorite thing to do is spend time with my husband, Jesse, a Purdue mechanical engineering graduate, and our sons, Remington and Bo. We’re a sports family, so you’ll find me cheering on my kids and their teams most weekends, and when I’m not at a game, I’m in my kitchen trying a new recipe or enjoying a good book.
