I work closely with the Assistant Provost for Diversity in Enrollment Management, to develop strategic initiatives to enhance efforts toward the recruitment and enrollment of underrepresented students. As Programming Coordinator, I oversee the assembling of programming for the Diversity Overnight Open House for Admitted Students, including student performances, organization of “the classroom experience” for visiting guests, panel sessions with faculty who can address our targeted audiences well, and a “TalkBack” session with attending students. Take on additional programming responsibility around development of interactive workshops for visiting students and their families to help navigate them through the college transition process.
