You may think everyone who works in admissions has one goal: to recruit students. But that’s not all that Andy English, admissions counselor and ambassador supervisor does. Though English does have a priority to recruit students to attend Simpson, he also is the supervisor of the student ambassadors and has to make sure that everything involving that area of the college runs smoothly.
