Emily Kelchen ’08
Emily S. Kelchen graduated from Truman in 2008 with a degree in political science. She then earned a law degree from the University of Wisconsin, moved to New Jersey for a few years, then headed south to the mountains of Tennessee. She remains connected to Truman by hosting pop-up events (pre-pandemic, pre-move to TN, pre-kids, so it has been a few years!), nominating people for Echo25 awards, and endowing a scholarship for students from her native Scotland County (about an hour northeast of Kirksville). Emily is the founder of Kelchen Consulting, a legal marketing and government affairs firm.
