The Purdue University College of Veterinary Medicine welcomes Jennifer Ulutas as the new Lead Administrative Assistant in the Office of Student Success.  Jennifer started September 23.  In her role she will provide direct frontline support to students, staff, and faculty, as well as visitors to the Student Success Center.

A native of Lafayette, Jennifer studied Office Administration, with a legal concentration, in Fort Wayne, Indiana, before moving to Marblehead, Massachusetts, where she worked as a nanny. In 2000, she returned to Indiana and took on various administrative roles. She worked nine years at Ivy Tech before coming to Purdue University, where she served as an administrative assistant at the Zucrow Labs for four years.  She then transferred to the Office of Student Services in the College of Pharmacy, where she worked most recently as a senior administrative assistant, primarily supporting the PharmD program.

In her personal time, Jennifer enjoys gardening, spending time at the beach or any body of water, and spending time with her fiancé and two cats, Zoe and Aries.

Welcome Jennifer!
