In this episode, we bring in guest, Cameron Walsh, a current regional admissions representative. We talk about the ways in which admissions representatives visit your school, hometown, or surrounding areas. We share tips and advice on how to best interact with them while also being strategic in showing initiative to those schools you may or may not already know.

Cameron Walsh completed his Bachelor of Science in Communication Studies at Appalachian State University, and has always had a passion for helping others. Spending 3 years volunteering to coach lacrosse at a local high school, he was able to guide his athletes through the scholarship and recruiting process, Cameron decided that his greatest desire was to help other students succeed in the college process. For the past 10 years, Cameron has been successfully steering hundreds of students from all walks of life on their college journey, staying in touch with them throughout their college years and transcending into a friendship. In addition to being a Division 1 Athletics Liaison for the single smallest D1 College in the nation, Cameron has also worked for the university serving the largest population of first-generation college students in North Carolina. He stays current on college trends by consistently connecting with colleagues around the nation, attending professional conferences and workshops and works as part of a regional admission group based in Charlotte, NC. Cameron has provided free college workshops at various Mecklenburg County public libraries with hopes to grow this program with every passing summer. Cameron’s college application essay writing workshops and presentations on the college process are always immensely popular as he tailors them to show his own personal failures when he was a college applicant. He takes great pride in his approach to college admission, which is very individualized and tailored to each student’s needs.
