Admission Counselor

The Admission Counselor is the primary contact person between the prospective student and Tulane University’s Celia Scott Weatherhead School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine (WSPH). The counselor makes frequent public presentations to these groups describing Tulane University’s Celia Scott Weatherhead School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine, its programs, and its services. Admission Counselors regularly conduct individual meetings with prospective students.

An Admission Counselor at Tulane WSPH is expected to independently research, plan, coordinate, schedule, execute, and evaluate prospective student visitation and recruitment programs in areas assigned by the Assistant Dean of Enrollment Management and Admissions/ Director of Admissions, seeking guidance only when necessary. Each admissions counselor is also responsible for processing all applications to degree programs, as well as all facets of student recruitment including, but not limited to: planning, coordinating, and hosting virtual and in-person recruitment events, virtual and in-person admitted students’ events and campus visits, coordination of off-campus events, and travel to recruitment events and conferences.

Admissions counselors are also responsible for staffing office hours uptown, as well as promoting the Accelerated Master’s Program to TU undergraduate students. The Admission Counselor will update the admissions website(s) as needed, and contribute content to existing social media platforms, supervising operations with staff and student workers on specific projects, conducting market research, and assisting prospective students with their applications.
