The admissions office's success can be attributed in large measure to its dedicated employees and the enjoyable work environment they create. I think people work in and with this office because they want to be a part of shaping the next generation of the University. I really like my colleagues in the office. Opportunities such as coordinating the Multicultural Celebration during April Welcome and serving as an adviser to the Student Admissions Committee keep the admissions officers connected to the campus they are promoting. The admissions officers also attribute their office's success to the support from the University as a whole.
Admissions is a part of the campus.
Student volunteers and faculty play a significant role in the admissions process. Everyone's very receptive to helping with the events. Faculty members meet with prospective and admitted students and welcome them into their classrooms, and current Washington University students give tours and host prospective students in the residence halls. I also think they are proud to have chosen Washington University. Beyond the support they receive from the rest of the University community, the admissions officers note the support they receive from each other.
