- I'm in my second year as the College Recruitment Officer, and it's gratifying to see so many of the people I helped get started here in classes and moving toward brighter futures. I'm a true education advocate, having earned a bachelor's degree in English from the University of New Mexico and a Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing from the University of Utah. I've also worked in public relations and as a newspaper reporter and a librarian.

Spring cleaning
What kind of stuff clutters the office of a college recruiter? Popcorn boxes (from a recent open house); balloons; college pens, pencils, lip balm, tote bags, etc.; promotional items from other colleges picked up at college fairs; piles of posters, fliers and pamphlets (what we call collateral); and a stack of paper admissions application forms that are destined for the recycling bin because our new online admissions application is up and running (www.mohave.edu/pages/420.asp). It's been embarrassing in here for a while, and I finally got a free moment this morning to clean up so that when a couple of prospective students dropped by this afternoon they could actually sit down. I'm told things will slow down in a couple of weeks, after commencement, when the college goes to a four-day work week. We'll see. I've never known it to be slow around here yet.
