We're excited to share that Ashley Munro has stepped in as the interim director of Admissions! She'll be taking on this role until we find a permanent replacement. Ashley has served in many roles and is well-versed in enrollment management work. With her decades of experience at UAF and three years of experience as the director of Financial Aid, Ashley is already familiar with many aspects of Admissions and has a great rapport with students. We’re confident that she’ll do a great job of leading the Admissions team during our search for a new director!
