Betsy on the Road: Fall 2014

Posted by Kate Blosser on

Graduate school can be a scary concept. There are different programs in a variety of fields at each university, making the selection process daunting, confusing, and an overall headache.

Enter: Betsy Crawford. Betsy is the College of Communication and Information’s Development Coordinator. A huge part of her role at CCI is graduate recruitment. This Fall alone, Betsy will travel to nine different events, from Miami to St. Augustine and everywhere in between, helping students find the right graduate program.

“Talking with students at graduate fairs is not only a wonderful opportunity to discuss our outstanding graduate programs, but gives me the chance to answer general questions about the application process and a great time to discuss the benefits of a graduate education,” said Crawford.

The College of Communication and Information offers seven graduate Master’s programs, three Ph.D. programs and a specialist program for the iSchool. When factoring in eight additional graduate certificates, CCI offers a wealth of options for graduate students.

“I really enjoy meeting prospective students, learning about their career goals and sharing our alumni success stories with them.  At every stop, I receive at least one visit from a CCI grad, so I always keep a supply of College pins and t-shirts with me to share with them,” laughed Betsy.
