What do I like most about Webster?
Webster recognizes and celebrates the unique value of each individual. It's small
enough to be warm, friendly and personal, yet the world of Webster is a true global
network!
I also personally enjoy the many cultural and artistic offerings here, not to mention the truly beautiful campus. It has been fun to watch the campus grow over the years, from the solid tradition of Webster Hall to state of the art Residence Halls to the brand new Academic Building. The variety of architecture on the campus is fittingly reflective of the diversity of the university.
What brought me to Webster?
I applied to Webster at the encouragement of a mentor, interested in the opportunity
to work with transfer students. I have stayed at Webster–still working with transfer
students—because of the variety inherent in the job. Each student has a different
story to tell and each presents a new challenge. The job—just like the University—is
always changing and evolving. I have yet to be bored–busy, yes, but never bored. And
I am delighted when my help enables a student to discover their path or take a step
toward their dreams through the admission process and their subsequent experience
here at Webster. It is gratifying and humbling to know that we have made a difference
in someone's life!
My advice to transfer students:
1. It is never too early to plan your transfer. The sooner you begin, the smoother
your transition will be.
2. There are two important questions transfer students need to ask: not only, "will
my credits transfer?" but also, and more importantly, "what credits will I still need?"
3. Don't be afraid to ask questions. That's why we are here…to help you!

What do I like most about Webster?
Webster is a small liberal Arts school, which helps to create a thoroughly student
centered focus. The human scale of Webster means that our faculty and staff will get
to know you as a student, what your goals are and how we can best guide you. This,
I feel, truly sets Webster University apart from any institution I have worked with.
What brought me to Webster?
I came to Webster specifically to work with transfer students. I was a community college
student who went through the transfer process to complete my bachelor’s degree. I
am a great believer in the value of starting your career in higher education at a
community college, and I am also a firm advocate for transfer students becoming involved
in the community of the four year institutions they transfer into. In addition to
offering a truly outstanding learning environment, Webster University provides a great
deal of support to our transfer students. These are all reasons I wanted to join the
Webster community.
My advice to transfer students:
Get involved. My experience as a transfer student helps me to appreciate the focus
on degree completion in an efficient timeline, however, I cannot stress highly enough
the value in taking advantage of the opportunities open to students at Webster. Your
time here will be the best opportunity to become involved in organizations, activities
and to see great performances and athletic events. Even if these are things that are
not on your radar during the transfer process, you may thank yourself for taking advantage
of them once you are here.

Credentials:
Bachelor of Arts in Psychology with an Emphasis in Mental Health from Webster University;
Currently pursuing Master of Arts in Human Services from Webster University
What do I like most about Webster?
As a student, I appreciate the small class sizes that create and encourage the opportunity
to develop good rapport with professors. Webster has afforded me the opportunity to
get a quality education with professors who truly care about their students, and are
involved in their fields outside the classroom. I also like the variety of degree
programs that Webster offers; there truly is something for everyone!
Overall, I love the fact that we are a diverse campus that includes people from all
different backgrounds and cultures. The eclectic mix of the arts & sciences, business,
communications, and education, along with the multitude of student organizations,
offers a chance to attend events that are altogether fun, informative, and entertaining!
What brought me to Webster?
By chance, in 2012 I was notified of an entry level position that was available in
the Office of Admissions. I applied and was hired, and spent 3½ years as an Admissions
Associate. I then transitioned into the role of a Representative/Transfer Counselor
in 2015.
My Advice to Transfer Students:
1. Start early – it’s never too early to start your transfer plans
2. Familiarize yourself with the programs we offer and our liberal credit transfer
policy
3. Get involved in student activities and clubs on campus
4. Never be afraid to ask questions – we are here to help you!
