Once I moved onto a college campus my freshmen year, I have never left.  I have worked in college admission, financial aid and other areas as a career for fourteen years.  Coming to Cleveland from New England this past summer, I wondered about the “right fit” in moving to a new part of the country.  It has reminded me about all the same questions that students go through in the admission process – Will I like it here? Will there be people like me? Is there anything to do on the weekends? After a year, I can sincerely say that this campus, the people and this region grow quickly on you.  John Carroll is a special place to be. There is something in our culture here that sets us apart. I think it’s a mixture of the Ignatian way of the campus with a little Midwestern hospitality thrown in. “How can we help?” is a phrase that is part of our culture – it’s about being in service to others and helping make sense of the admission and aid process.  We are here to tell you the John Carroll story, introduce you to a great city and a great campus to consider in your college search. 

I keep connected with home by reading applications and helping all students from New England considering John Carroll and also work with a few local high schools here in Cleveland personally.  It has been easy to jump on the bandwagon with the Blue Streaks, The Indians and the Cavaliers, but, a big part of me will always be part of Red Sox nation!
