Central College has hired Jeremy Burke as the college’s pre-health advisor and career services specialist.

In this role, Burke will advise pre-health students and those pursuing post-graduate fellowships and awards in addition to working with Central’s alumni office to facilitate connections between Central students, the Career and Professional Development team and alumni across the globe.

“I’ve already enjoyed working with the Central students I’ve met so far and look forward to meeting more of the Central community in the months to come,” Burke says. “Everyone here has been so warm and welcoming, and I feel fortunate to be joining such a vibrant academic community.”

Burke received his B.A. in philosophy and a B.S. in environmental biology from St. Ambrose University in Davenport, Iowa. He went on to earn a master’s degree in philosophy from Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri, and an MFA in creative writing (poetry) from University of New Orleans.
