Andrew Strickler, dean of admission and financial aid, is responsible for determining the overall strategy for recruiting, admitting, matriculating and supporting a diverse and a highly talented student body. He manages a staff dedicated not only to attracting the best students, but also to supporting their full demonstrated financial need.
He works collaboratively with colleagues across campus — in the offices of the dean of the college, the dean of the faculty, the dean of students, the vice president for communications and the vice president for finance — to realize these goals, and to ensure that students at 51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ have the best possible experience from inquiry to acceptance to matriculation and beyond.
Formerly dean of admission and financial aid at Guilford College, Strickler developed innovative, data-driven strategies for recruitment and matriculation; overhauled the campus visit program; and championed a new international recruitment plan, leading to the highest percentage of international students in the school’s history.
Strickler holds a bachelor of arts in history from Earlham College and a master of arts in social studies education from Indiana University. He has enjoyed a series of increasingly responsible positions over the last 15 years in the areas of athletics administration, advancement and admission at Kalamazoo College, Beloit College, Ursinus College and Guilford College.
