Office of Admissions personnel news
by Lindsey Chadwell, Interim Associate Vice Chancellor for Enrollment Services |
Cassie Keefer's last day at UAA is April 30. Though her family has loved their time in Alaska, they look forward to being closer to family again in the lower 48. Cassie joined the Enrollment Services team as our inaugural Executive Director of Admissions 2 1/2 years ago with a wealth of experience. During her time as a Seawolf, she has united three distinct areas to develop a dynamic team with a shared mission - grow enrollment and remove barriers tied to admissions. I have appreciated Cassie's collaborative, solutions-oriented approach to her work and professional relationships. I am fortunate to have had the opportunity to work more closely with her this semester in my interim role. She has taught me a lot about not only the important and varied work that she and her team do but about life and servant leadership. Please join me in thanking Cassie for her service to UAA and wishing her well!
I am pleased to share that Craig Mead has graciously agreed to serve as the Interim Executive Director of Admissions effective May 3 while we conduct a national search for a permanent replacement. Craig joined the admissions team 6 1/2 years ago as a Transfer Coordinator after 10 years in the Registrar's Office. He later served as the Assistant Director of Recruitment and currently serves as the Assistant Director of Operations. Craig brings a wealth of comprehensive experience to this interim role, and I thank him for his willingness to serve. Congratulations, Craig!
