Sit around a table and we see faces from many different lands. When asked what brought them or their family to the US the answer is to have a better life. This is no different then my family from long ago. It all fits in what I try to help with now in my career. Interesting.

Admissions gives one the chance to show a path for people to succeed in life. Having been the first to graduate from college in my family has taught me the value of education. Value that I can convey to those who visit with me.

The Admissions Representative must enter the college setting with a foundation of having worked hard along with a strong belief to do it "the right way." A true concern to come to work to do just that, work and give the employer your best effort will result in positives for all concerned. The bottom line is always the student.

Interest in a students life becomes utmost important in the Admissions actions from start to finish. One must realize that the prospective student places their decisions on what is said by the employees of an institution. Changing lives for the better must be what we as Admissions Representatives strive for each and every day.
