CONWAY, Ark.
(August 30, 2017) – Hendrix College alumnus Jeremy D. Dickerson ’04 has been
named Associate Vice President for Enrollment and Director of Admission.
Dickerson returns
to his alma mater after serving as
Director of Undergraduate Admissions at Old Dominion University in Norfolk,
Virginia, since 2014. During his tenure, Dickerson helped the institution
increase applications 26 percent in one academic year, expanded access to
underserved student populations, reversed staff turnover trends, and developed
new student recruitment.
“We are excited
to welcome Jeremy back to campus to serve in this critical role,” said Sam G.
Nichols, Vice President for Enrollment. “He understands the undergraduate
student recruitment landscape very well. Most importantly, he has a deep
affinity for what makes the Hendrix experience so distinctive and so valuable
and will be able to share that effectively with prospective students and
families.”
After graduating
from Hendrix in 2004, Dickerson earned a master’s degree from the University of
Arkansas, where he managed the university’s telecounseling initiative as a
graduate assistant and later served in a variety of enrollment positions,
including Assistant Dean of Admissions.
"I am honored and humbled to
serve as Associate Vice President and Director of Admission at Hendrix,"
Dickerson said. "I am eager to return to the place that drew me to higher
education in the first place. I look forward to working with the enrollment
team and the greater community to share the many compelling stories
Hendrix has to tell prospective students and their families."
Dickerson will
begin his new role at Hendrix on October 2.
