How do I Know Who My Counselor Will Be?
Each admissions counselor is assigned to a particular region. Get to know our team below and the region they serve. When you're ready to connect, start a virtual chat (or call/email/text—whatever you prefer!) with any counselor. And when you schedule your visit you will find our team in the beautiful, newly renovated Admission Welcome Center. We look forward to getting to know you!
