ALUMNI AWARDS ’15 JILL WULFENSTEIN DERHAK

Rising Alumni Award

After earning her bachelor’s degree in Business Marketing and Mass Communication in 2015, Jill has gone on to find success by working with and mentoring students at universities across the country, producing music festivals, comedy shows, stadium shows, and hundreds of other large-scale events.

Throughout her career, Jill has had opportunities to present her work to students and educators across the country, lead workshops on event planning, reinvigorate local college programming, work with community leaders to get students involved on their college campuses, and develop college leadership curriculum. In her capacity as an event planner, Jill has instilled a sense of confidence, purpose, and excitement in the students she works with and teaches.

“While producing live events is something I’m good at and enjoy doing, what makes it special is that I get to work with students from all over the world to help them realize their potential and help them see, just like my advisors at Utah Tech did for me, that they are capable and worthy of every good thing that comes their way,” she said.
