Well folks, I am sad to announce that I will be leaving the Office of Admissions. It has been almost 2 years since I started this amazing journey in the admissions realm. I have enjoyed being an admission counselor more than I had imagined and feel absolutely fortunate to have had this opportunity in my life. I have met some pretty amazing students that have inspired me to keep on in the higher education field. For this reason, I am still staying at The University of Iowa but will now be working in the Center for Diversity & Enrichment as a Multicultural Coordinator!
I am excited to begin my new journey working with current undergraduate students. However, I am sad to be leaving my co-workers. 🙁 But, they better be sure to schedule lunch dates with me and still invite me to fun events! 🙂
This is my last blog…it has been fun giving you a small piece about the admissions realm and hope that you all have enjoyed my posts!
I will leave you with some fun things to do when you get to campus, because for you this would be YOUR new beginnings!
