What do you enjoy most about being an admission counselor?

Working with students through a process that can be very stressful, and helping them to decide on a school that is right for them. 

Best tip for students coming for a campus visit:

Do a little research about Saint Michael's before your visit so that you already know a little bit about us before you come to campus. Try to come prepared with a few questions that you'd like answered during your visit too! 

Best tip for students applying to Saint Michael's:

Provide us with information that helps us get to know you and be sure to proof all of your written work (i.e. don't send your "Why I want to go to UVM" essay to Saint Michael's!) 

Testimonial:

My favorite aspect of Saint Michael's College is the sense of community.
