About

Kailey (Behrens '23) Wilkinson joined the Taylor University Advancement team in March 2026. In her role, she supports the Taylor Fund, leads digital engagement efforts, and oversees the student calling Connection Center. Her work focuses on building meaningful relationships with alumni and donors while creating opportunities for the Taylor community to stay connected to campus and invest in students.

Prior to returning to Taylor, Kailey served as Assistant Director of Advancement at Hill College in Hillsboro, Texas, beginning in June 2023. She played a key role in establishing and growing the Advancement Office while supporting fundraising initiatives and stewardship efforts through campaigns and events. After graduating from Taylor in May 2023, Kailey moved to Waco, Texas, with her husband, Sam '23, while he attended graduate school at Baylor University (Sic 'em, Bears).

During her time at Taylor, Kailey studied Sport Management with a minor in Public Relations. She was a member of the women’s golf team, served as a discipleship assistant, and worked in the Advancement Office. That early experience sparked her interest in advancement work and makes her return to Taylor especially meaningful. Kailey and her husband, Sam, met at Taylor and were married in June 2024. They recently moved back to Indiana to be closer to family and enjoy spending time together watching sports, playing golf, and planning trips to Disney.
