MEET ROBERTA BAILEY

She’s the person to talk to when you want to transfer to HU

This spring, the Office of Admissions announced the creation of a new role: Assistant Director of Admissions and Transfer Relationships. The Assistant Director would be someone who specializes in helping students transfer into Huntington University traditional undergraduate, online and graduate programs. In March 2022, we hired Roberta Bailey, someone who has lived the transfer and online degree experience herself.

“When I returned to school, I was a transfer and online student,” said Bailey in the official press release announcing her hiring. “My experience was excellent, and now I want to offer that same excellence to others. Often transfer or online students need and want a concierge admissions experience. My background makes it possible for me to offer that.”

We agree! Here is a quick introduction to Roberta, her background and her heart for students that illustrates what we mean when we say she’s perfect for her new role.
