Alumni Association Spotlight: Kevin Dean (BA '02)
Kevin Dean (BA ’02), executive director at Literacy Mid-South, transferred to the
University of Memphis after a year at Auburn University. “I was born and raised in
Memphis and wanted to try something new,” Dean says. “I quickly realized that Auburn
wasn’t for me.” Back in Memphis, Dean pursued a degree in communication, with an emphasis
in broadcasting and electronic media. Unsure about his initial career plans—television
producer/filmmaker—upon graduation, Dean used his creative ambition in a different
way.
He joined AmeriCorps, which placed him with Volunteer Memphis where he eventually
became community services director. He was Director of Development at Hope House before
taking the position at Literacy Mid-South last May.
