Best part of the job?

The highlight of my job is helping students navigate the University of Utah's admissions process and realize their educational goals.

Why did you decide to
work in student recruitment?

The University of Utah has established a reputation of excellence for its academic programs, faculty, research, innovations, student life and membership in the Pac-12. The University of Utah is located on the east side hills of the Salt Lake Valley, which provides for a grandiose view of the Wasatch Mountains and downtown skyline. Working in student recruitment is a prime opportunity for me to share all these incredible highlights with prospective students.
