Undergraduate Admissions Counselor

George Fox University has a highly successful Undergraduate Admissions Team that is looking for a credible and goal‑oriented person to serve as an Undergraduate Admissions Counselor.

As the primary contact for prospective students, admissions counselors must understand and be able to clearly communicate the value of a George Fox education. They should be detailed and flexible, able to handle many things at once while maintaining a high level of accuracy and a positive attitude. In our collaborative environment, the ideal candidate will contribute to all aspects of the admissions process with creative and strategic ideas and a willingness to step in and do anything necessary for prospective students to experience the Be Known promise.

Above all else, an Undergraduate Admissions Counselor must value the formative experience that comes from a George Fox education, and by words and example be able to clearly communicate this in order to compel students to join George Fox University.

George Fox University, a Christ‑centered community, prepares students spiritually, academically, and professionally to think with clarity, act with integrity, and serve with passion. Our vision is to be the Christian university of choice known for empowering students to achieve exceptional life outcomes. We put students first, with Christ at the center of our work, embracing change in order to improve. As a Christ‑centered community, George Fox University values diversity as an essential dimension of God's design for human communities.
