This Georgia-based role manages this defined territory (final territory set by the College) and blends in-person travel with virtual recruitment, relationship building, and application counseling. The counselor partners closely with campus admission operations and uses the College’s CRM to plan outreach and measure results.

Collaborate with Wesleyan faculty/staff and coordinate with the centrally managed Student Ambassador program to facilitate peer-to-peer interactions.  
  • Pipeline development - Generate and nurture leads from inquiry through deposit using timely, personalized follow-up via email, phone, text, and video; log all activity in the CRM. Maintain high-touch service for counselors, students, and families in your region. 
  • Application counseling & reading - Advise students/families on admission, scholarships, and next steps; evaluate applications in a holistic process and meet seasonal reading goals; confidently discuss affordability and return on investment.  
  • Partnerships - Through frequent travel and continuous communication, develop and cultivate strong relationships with school counselors, community-based organization representatives, independent educational consultants, and other influencers in assigned recruitment territory.
  • Data & reporting - Use CRM and historical data to set goals, target schools, and report on territory performance and event ROI; recommend adjustments throughout the enrolment cycle.

  • Equity & inclusion - Advance Wesleyan’s commitment to access and belonging in all recruitment activities.
