Elise Patrick

I’m originally from Topeka, KS, but have called Lawrence home for the past 25 years. I’ve worked at KU for over 20 of those years, holding several different roles focused on student success.   

I love animals and also have a background in animal behavior and dog training.  When I’m not at work you can find me walking my rescued golden doodle, snuggling my old man chihuahua, or streaming history or true crime documentaries and sit-coms.   

I manage the KU Mentored Scholars Program and coordinate Hawk Link office operations. My favorite thing about Hawk Link is seeing our lobby filled with students studying and hanging out between classes. We are happy you’re here!
