Why do you enjoy admissions work? I love admissions work because you meet people from all over the world. You hear their stories and are able to assist them in meeting their goals and achieving their dreams. I also work with organizations, hear what their needs are, and collaborate on initiatives that work towards meeting those needs. Throughout the years, I have read a myriad of applications and have met with many groups and institutions. It is this work that continues to be interesting and compelling and underscores the value of doing admission work.
Do you have advice for students looking for the right graduate program? Advancing one’s education creates lifelong opportunities and relationships. My advice is to make sure you evaluate the factors most important to you, which may include the reputation and culture of the school, faculty research and support, alumni outcomes, and other related considerations.
