Student Admissions Representatives: Kara Galleo, Kay Owen, Felicia Elam, Dawn Garrett, Paul Rogers, Kim Bonnell Associate Director of Admissions Frank McMeen works hard recruiting new students for Freed-Hardeman. M s,,. H' -E W Student Admissions Representative Paul Rogers makes phone calls to prospective students. Admissions Admissions is the one area of campus work whose job is never clone. The enrolling of one freshman class signals the beginning of recruitment for another one. Assigned the task of recruiting more stu- dents for Freed-Hardeman, the admissions office fulfills that task through a variety of means. They visit high schools, churches, and homes. They make phone calls and they write letters, thousands and thousands of letters - as any prospective student can tell you. Also led by Vice President Roy Sharp, the admissions office is directed by Paul Pinck- ley. His staff consists of associate director Frank McMeen, assistant director Charles Corley, and admissions counselors Susan Edmonds and Danny Sorrell. They are as- sisted by eight student admissions represen- tatives. Director of Financial Aid Doris Ma- ness works with the admissions staff and prospective students to ensure that the stu- dent can meet his financial obligation. Three entertainment groups operate un- der the aegis of the admissions office. Phoe- nix presents rock concerts for youth rallies and high schools. The Ambassadors sing contemporary gospel music and Deliverance emphasizes spirituals. These performers provide important contacts with high school students and those who influence them. Super Saturdays continued to draw po- tential students to campus. The day featured financial aid information, campus tours, lunch, and meetings with department heads. The enrollment goal for fall 1987 is 1100. The admissions staff can congratulate itself on a job well done if that goal is met when students register in August. They will only be allowed a few moments for congratula- tion, however. It will then be time to work on the next crop of freshmen. W ADMISSIONS 129
