Undergraduate AdvisorCurriculum Vitae

Bio

Laken Pruitt earned her M.S. in Sociology from Oklahoma State University in 2015, and her B.A. in Sociology and Psychology (Cum Laude) in 2013 from Concord University.
Laken joined the Department in January 2020, and within her first few months she quickly adapted to the ever-changing environment of advising in higher education. Just two months into Laken's role almost the entire university went remote, and since then Laken has been flexible in working with our undergraduate students to offer virtual options for advising, flexible hours, and various remote options to work with schedules students have from home.

Aside from advising, Laken is actively involved as the Sociology Club advisor, and she has a desire to help improve student's overall experiences and learning here at Oklahoma State.

Laken’s outside interests include reading, gardening, and spending time with her children.
