Puget Sound has over 80 student-run clubs and identity-based groups. It’s Club Coordinator Bennett Christensen’s job to help student leaders build community through shared interests. Christensen joined the Student Affairs staff in 2024. While pursuing a philosophy degree at Brigham Young University, the Boise native worked in art education with elementary school students. After a brief stint in the corporate world, he started his role at Puget Sound, supporting club leaders and helping them reach their goals, from creating a sustainable leadership structure to travel planning.
“It's a transformative time of life, and supporting that kind of self-discovery and finding community is a cool thing to be involved in and help facilitate,” says Christensen. “Getting to try new things and connect to a community not only helps students to know themselves, but sets them up to take on new challenges after college, as well.”
When he’s not at work, Christensen loves to get outside, play racquet sports, watch movies, and play the latest video games.

“There is no CEO rubric. There are as many ways to be a CEO as there are to be a human. So, choose the one that you are most aligned with, who you are, and what you care about.”
