Ashley Plank

I am a student at Penn State Behrend studying Marketing. I am a Marketing Specialist Intern for the College Knowledge Foundation subcommittee College Swipe.

When I read about College Knowledge Foundation and its commitment to expanding educational access, I became interested in learning more as I believe in everyone’s right to pursue as much higher education as they would like. I’ve seen firsthand how overwhelming the college and career process can feel without clear guidance, and CKF’s dedication to supporting students through that journey aligns strongly with my own values. Joining CKF felt like the right opportunity to build my skills, support a mission I believe in, and be part of a team that cares about the impact it makes.

My goal at College Knowledge Foundation is to elevate the quality and consistency of our marketing content so the organization can continue to expand its impact. As a Marketing Specialist for College Swipe, I want to help strengthen our brand presence by creating content that is both strategic and engaging. I want to help College Swipe grow its audience, deepen its connection with students and families, and set up long term systems that support continued success in the digital space.
