Elyssa Kreutzer’s applied learning experiences have allowed her to build a strong foundation in marketing, communications and event support while completing her business degree at Wichita State.
Kreutzer, a senior marketing communications student at the Barton School of Business, has gained professional experience through Wichita State’s Technology Industry Engagement Group and the National Institute for Aviation Research. She initially supported onboarding efforts before transitioning into marketing communications, an experience that eventually led her to Textron Aviation. There, she worked with the Global Events & Partnerships team before interviewing for a communications role.
Her experiences and relationships within the organization ultimately led to two opportunities to continue growing with Textron Aviation: a communications co-op during the 2026-27 academic year and a full-time position following graduation.
