As I have mentioned before, this is one of our busiest times here in the Admissions Office. I have been tasked with the duty of presenting many of our daily information sessions, and I find this part of my job so fun! I have the opportunity to meet with students and families from across the country. Just today, I met families from New York, Minnesota, Idaho, and California… and that’s not even including the Washingtonians who come from all across the state to visit too. It’s enlightening for me to see such a wide diversity range in the people traveling such great distances to see this amazing college. It is a constant reminder of how unique and appealing an Evergreen education is to so many people. Our national reputation is growing and growing, and that is reflected in our eclectic student body.

You have come to the right place to check out what some of our students are doing here on campus. I encourage you to read the blogs our students keep on this web site (and feel free to comment; they love the questions!). I’m sure that you will be able to relate at least one of these Greeners. Their stories inspire me to stay focused, even when it feels like there’s so much to do around here. I hope that someday I will be able to share in your experiences here at Evergreen – I know you will do great things here too!

Spring Break is quickly approaching for our students on campus. The sun is shining (and the rain is falling) and flowers are poking up all over the campus. Students are running around trying to complete final projects and planning fun and exciting trips. Some of the students I work with are traveling to San Francisco, California, Orlando, Florida, and even China. I’m so jealous. For all of the college staff, there is no break. We work all the way through the change of quarters. This is great news if you want to come and visit during your Spring Break from high school or community college. We are continuing to host visitors all through March and April (typically a couple of our busiest months). Be sure to contact us if you’d like to reserve your spot.
