Your favorite part of working with International Admissions? I'm passionate about providing access to higher education to international students. Having their perspective on life and learning is a big advantage for the UNI community. Not only am I able to learn information on new cultures, but I'm often given the opportunity to hear from the students' direct experiences. Also I enjoy working with a dynamic team to recruit international students to campus. Traveling around the world to share the benefits of UNI doesn't hurt either! :-) |
