During his time as an undergraduate student in the WKU Organizational Leadership program, Owensboro, Kentucky native, Hayden Hobgood, worked in 5 different campus buildings as an RA. This ignited his interest in working with students, but he was looking for a slightly different experience upon graduation. It wasn’t until he entered into the WKU Counseling and Student Affairs program in 2019 that his career trajectory began to take shape.
Throughout his WKU experience, Hobgood felt increasingly drawn to the prestigious residential school for gifted and talented high school juniors and seniors, The Gatton Academy. “I worked with several Gatton students when was an RA,” Hayden said. “I also had a cousin that had attended the [Gatton] program, and I worked at the Wesley Foundation, a Methodist campus ministry that had a Gatton student that attended.” Now, he serves as a residential counselor within its ranks.
