Westminster College has a new Vice President and Dean of Enrollment. The school announced the appointment of Robert B. Andrews, II who will be relocating to Fulton from Florida. He will take on his new role as of Nov. 23.
"Bobby brings to Westminster what we need a fresh, proven prospective on recruiting students and an understanding of the changing dynamics on how
best to engage the current generation of students," said Westminster President Dr. Benjamin Akande.
According to a press release, Andrews was the Director of Admissions at Stet- son University in DeLand, Florida. During his five year tenure, he exceeded that university's enrollment goal for the fall of 2015 by 200 students. It is the school's most diverse admitted student profile as yet.
"Bobby also brings exciting experience and proven success in looking at new student constituencies for Westminster," said Heather Triplett Biehl, Chairman of the College's Trustee Enrollment Committee. "He is a recognized admissions leader in expanding into new states and understanding the international student market, both areas in which we plan to add to our recruiting efforts."
Andrews brings sales and recruiting experience from both inside and outside of higher education, including insurance broker and coaching experience. He holds a B.S. in Business Administration from Sacred Heart University (Fairfield, CT) and expects to complete his MBA from Southern New Hampshire University in August 2016.
"With its tremendously rich history, amazing alumni base and faculty, and the new, dynamic leadership of President Akande, Westminster is poised for continued greatness and ready to reach new heights of success," Andrews said. "There is a new energy at Westminster, and I am excited to join in Dr. Akande's vision for the college."
