Campus Director of Admissions Jamie Owens was hired to focus on enrollment.
“We are very happy to welcome all of the new, incoming first-year and transfer students this year,” said Owens. “The admissions team worked very hard to meet and recruit them. Through increased use of technology, we were better able to keep in contact with interested students and help them through the admission process. We also held more on-campus events this past year that gave students and their families an opportunity to visit our campus and receive one-on-one help applying for both admission and financial aid in partnership with the financial aid office. Helping students receive a WSU education right here in our community is our number one goal.”
