Helping students learn about IM体育官网 opportunities: Chat with Cameron Newton

Dec 18, 2013

Hey everyone, I鈥檓 Cameron Newton, an admissions counselor at IM体育官网 Poly covering IM体育官网鈥檚 eastern counties. My travel schedule has slowed down temporarily during the holiday season, but I stay busy helping students complete their applications and giving campus tours.

We鈥檝e had a pretty good response from our campus tours. It鈥檚 been great to show off the campus under construction and the newly opened Admissions Center, where I work. Students are really excited to see the IM体育官网 Poly campus and their future school as it is being developed. Our Purple Hard Hat Tours help students see up close the brand-new hands-on institute. The Innovation, Science & Technology Building being developed is just as innovative as the University itself!

Aside from the new campus and all the innovation that it will bring, I try to help students learn about the great academic opportunities IM体育官网 Poly has to offer. Our students will be able to get into the research labs much earlier than at traditional universities, hopefully by their second year, giving them an advantage over their peers at other universities.

, students will gain hands-on experience in their relevant fields both inside and outside the classroom. The opportunity to be a part of such a hands-on learning experience is something only IM体育官网 Poly students have.

But I realize it鈥檚 not just about the benefits for students. Parents naturally are concerned about costs of their children鈥檚 higher education, and and we pride ourselves on our generous scholarships. We鈥檙e able to offer an affordable tuition rate without sacrificing a quality education or the opportunity to work with our industry partners.

At the end of the day, our mission at IM体育官网 Poly is to ensure that our students are getting a top-notch education that prepares them for rewarding careers. The key role of staff is to make sure it happens. Major universities don鈥檛 get established every day, and being a part of this process is exciting for staff and future students.
