Highlight from the Interview

“I get to see these incredibly talented women using their gifts. And all across the country these women are meeting with students and girls are coming to know Jesus, being baptized, and joining churches. Our purpose in RUF is not to just reach people on the campus. We want to reach them, equip them, and send them to the church—and that is what we’re seeing. It is beautiful.”

Casey Cockrum is the Assistant Vice President for Campus Staff at RUF. In this position, she leads the Campus Staff Department, providing guidance and support to the women in these roles. After graduating from Mississippi State University, where she came to faith through RUF, Casey moved to Memphis to serve as an RUF Intern and Campus Staff at the University of Memphis. Casey met her husband, Colton, while earning her master’s in counseling there.

Casey returned to RUF in 2011 after seven years at Independent Presbyterian Church, working with the young adult ministry, to serve as counselor for RUF Interns. In the following years, Casey founded the Campus Staff Department, which became an official entity in 2018.

Casey and Colton live in Memphis with their two children, Coleman (2009) and Callie (2011). Casey enjoys family adventures, deer hunting, listening to Willie Nelson, and watching college football.
