Murray, Ky

As the Marketing Systems Assistant, I was responsible for data entry, creating form letters, mass mailings and answering prospective student inquiries. As the Public Relations Intern, I sold and created advertisements for the Summer Orientation handbook that was mailed to all new students. I also wrote and mailed form letters and press releases for the local and student newspaper. As a recruiter in the office, I answered phones, arranged visits and appointments for prospective students, mailed out specific information for prospective students, gave walking and van campus tours to families and fulfilled other office duties. Also, I was the liaison among the prospective students and all academic departments, athletic teams, the financial aid department and student housing. I have to admit I was definitely the cheerleader for MSU when kids were deciding which university to attend!
