The Office of Admissions has added Stephanie Carlos, representative from the Los Angeles and San Gabriel Valley area, to its personnel staff.

Carlos is a 1998 graduate of Claremont McKenna College. Her background qualifications for the position include working for a volunteer program for two years.

In the service learning program, she learned the criteria to do the job. She also worked as substitute teacher for a year and a half and has worked in a bank.

This moved Will Darity’s, admissions representative counselor, position over to working with transfer students, making his position open. Carlos currently occupies Darity’s old position.

“Stephanie Carlos by far was the best candidate,” said Lisa Meyer, director of admission.

Meyer in searching for the right person, was looking for “somebody who had gone to a private university, or someone who understood the experience who could relate to students locally and who could articulate what it is that makes the University of La Verne special.”

Meyer said that Carlos exemplifies all of these qualities. Although being on the job for only a few days, she said that she has enjoyed working for the Admissions Office.

Carlos said she plans to do a good job by using her experience in customer service. This experience will enable her to help a student with financial aid problems, or an upset parent whose child has been denied [financial aid],” said Meyer.

“Carlos is professional, thorough, and articulate; but at the same time compassionate. She could understand the person at the other end and treat them with respect,” said Meyer.

Carlos said she has future plans for her career. She said she wants to start a volunteer program for admissions.

This program would be student based, being that students could share their experience with one another along with potential students at ULV.

For the future, she said she plans to pursue higher education in this field within the next three to four years. At the moment, she said that she is taking it day by day, and learning all the experience needed to become knowledgeable in her field.
