New and Familiar Faces

New Face

Job Description:

I will be mostly working with the Office of Admissions’ Customer Relationship Management (CRM) software to better facilitate the recruitment process.

Worked at KSU since:

September 2012

Employment Prior to Kent State University:

I served at Hiram College for the past eight years and my last position was associate director of admissions. Prior to my time at Hiram College, I was an admissions counselor at Mount Union College for four years.

Likes Most About Kent State University:

So far, I have enjoyed getting to know my co-workers. Frankly, I have been blown away by how helpful everyone is, particularly Sue Veppert, who has helped with the transition from a small college to a large university. This is a great staff and office!

Attraction to Kent State University as an Employer:

I wanted the opportunity to work with Mark Ledoux and the rest of the admissions staff. I knew Mark professionally from conferences where we both had been presenters. I was impressed by the scope of his knowledge and looked forward to working with him someday. I already knew Amy Szydlowski and had co-presented with Dave Garcia several years back at the OACAC spring conference. Once I had the chance to chat with Nancy Dellavecchia, I knew this was a wonderful opportunity.
