Path of Impact: Bridging Campus

From Student to Advocate to Higher Education Marketing Professional, How Jessica is Navigating the Academic Landscape
I'm Jessica Patterson-Vickers, a proud Alabamian who calls The University of Alabama home. Currently, I'm serving as a Digital Marketing Coordinator at my alma mater, where I earned a bachelor's in marketing, master's in journalism, and a doctorate in Higher Education Administration is coming in 2026. During my time as a student, I had the incredible opportunity to take on various campus roles, with my favorite being a member of the Crimsonettes in the renowned Million Dollar Band.
​
My education inspired me to give back to my community. I founded "Center Stage: Advocating for Arts Education," a project close to my heart, enabling me to connect with over a million of like-minded individuals who share a passion for enhancing arts education in our beloved state of Alabama. With a love for education and refined marketing skillset, I developed a career dedicated to celebrating the diverse and inspiring narratives of students at every age.
As I continue to champion the power of education and storytelling, I look forward to connecting with others who share our commitment to enhancing the educational experience and celebrating its unique stories. Thank you for joining me on this journey of learning and advocacy.

On a personal note, I got married on June 8, 2024! I'm in the process of legally changing my name to my incredible husband's, Vickers. Lookout – you may see me as Jessica Vickers on some platforms.
