About My Work

I am the Manager of Student Affairs for the Computer Science Department at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. What does a Manager of Student Affairs do? I answer all sorts of questions from prospective and current students. I focus more on the graduate program, but I am also happy to help undergraduates. Some of the things I do include:

• Assist students with administrative processes. Help incoming and new graduate students find their way.
• Manage graduate admissions processes.
• Organize graduate student orientation, semiannual review of students, mixers, and poster sessions.
• Host visiting prospective graduate students.
• Assign advisors, keys, student offices, and graduate TA positions.
• Advise undergraduates about graduate school admissions (applying to RPI or elsewhere)
• Manage student records.
• Serve on department's Graduate Curriculum and Graduate Admissions Committees.
• Update web pages and print publications.
