Hi. My name is Nancy Singer, and I have recently joined the SALT staff as Assistant Director, Admissions and Recruitment. In the past, I worked as a graduate assistant in the SALT Tutoring Center, so I know how important the supportive and friendly environment of the SALT Center is to students with learning differences.
I grew up in the Chicago suburbs and earned a Bachelor’s degree in Marketing from Millikin University. I also have a Master’s degree in College Student Personnel from Bowling Green State University. I am currently a student at The University of Arizona working on my Ph.D. in Higher Education. I hope to complete my dissertation this year and graduate in May 2009.
I have worked my entire professional career in higher education with most of my experience in community colleges in California. Most recently I served as Director of the Tucson GEAR UP Project, a college access program serving students in the Sunnyside and Tucson Unified School Districts.
On a personal note, I have gone through the college selection process with both of my children. My son, Owen, is a junior in college, and my daughter, Gibson, will start college this fall. The college search and selection process is exciting, but can be stressful for both students and their families as they search for the “right fit” for their students. I look forward to working with prospective students and their families, and helping students make a successful transition to The University of Arizona and the SALT Center.
