What is the history of this office?
While the admissions office has existed for a long time, the office has undergone a large expansion within the past few years. Bayer Hall once held Undergraduate Admissions as well as the Graduate Admissions Office and the Office of Financial Aid. With the drastic increase of students accepted and attending the university within recent years, the office has expanded in size and scope, currently occupying all of Bayer Hall.
Who comprises the staff?
Under Vice President for Enrollment Management Jim McCoy and Associate Vice President for Enrollment Management Kevin Phillips, the office directors include Director of Recruitment and Marketing Wayne Leon, Director of Enrollment Planning and Policy Alick Lètang, Director of Events, and Senior Associate Director of Admissions Whitney Kolwicz. There are also a few assistant and associate directors, as well as about 14 admission counselors that also specialize in different aspects of admissions such as online recruitment, social media, transfer, and veteran student recruitment, as well as liaisons to the different colleges within the university. From there, the office employs six clerical staff members and approximately thirty students.
What services do you provide to students?
The main goal of the Office of Undergraduate Admissions is to recruit the incoming class to the university, as well as develop the best practices in how to do so. Towards this goal, the office coordinates with many other offices on campus and implements a variety of events including open houses, accepted students days, and charger days where accepted students can shadow current UNH students. Currently, the office is working with the incoming Class of 2016 as they prepare to begin attending UNH this fall.
