 Pix of the week: Career Fair

In early October, Olin hosted two career fairs on the same day! One was in person on the Olin oval, and one was virtual on Zoom.

Q&A: with Julia Brown, Admission Counselor

What makes you most excited about working at Olin? I love working at Olin because of the community. It’s supportive, collaborative, and compassionate. I feel as if I’m doing interdisciplinary project-based work!

How would you describe your job to someone you don’t know? As an Olin admission counselor, I guide students in learning about Olin and seeing if it’s the best fit for them to then select students that OAFA thinks would be great Olin community members!

What’s one fun fact you would like the Olin community to know about you? I used to be a Zumba instructor and I still love doing it in my free time!

What is one project you are currently working on/excited about? I’m excited to launch a new blogging project that will feature first-generation college students at Olin!
