Staff and Scheduling Information

We welcome ALL students (not just Seniors!) to meet with us, discuss ideas and opportunities, and grow in their competence and confidence for the future beyond Hendrix.

Students, faculty, staff, alumni, recruiters, and all others may schedule appointments with any staff member via the links below.  Options for meetings include in-person, phone, and virtual (MS Teams or Zoom); select your preference when you schedule. We offer Walk-In-Wednesdays every week from 2:00-4:00pm where students can drop in without an appointment for quick advising in SLTC 240. We are happy to help you! See our areas of expertise below.

Our mission is to support Hendrix's Statement of Purpose by assisting students and alumni in the exploration and attainment of professional and educational opportunities that contribute to lives of accomplishment, integrity, service, and joy during their time at Hendrix and after graduation.

After reading the info below, still not sure which one of us to see? Send us an email and we'll get you in touch with the right staff member.
