Hi! My name is Audrey and I am a graduate of MSUM's Counseling and Student Affairs Master's program. As the Assistant Director of Transfer Admissions, I support our Transfer Admissions team and work with students and their families, transferring or seeking a second undergraduate degree throughout the admissions process and support them in making a decision regarding and transitioning from another college to attend MSUM! I also help non-degree seeking students who are interested in taking a class through MSUM to transfer back to another school or to prepare for graduate school admission requirements. I appreciate the opportunity I have in making connections with future Dragons! I see Dragon Pride on campus through the diligence and commitment our students have to their education and one another. I think the community that develops on campus is astounding and I am so proud that I am able to represent that to our future students!
