Bio
Ryan Hays
I had the pleasure of over 5 years seeing Nicole grow as an enrollment management leader at Northwestern University. From my time reporting directly to Nicole in her role as an admissions manager to her subsequent promotion to assistant director of enrollment management, Nicole was a tireless advocate for her team, increased processes and policies that lead to substantial efficiencies and spearheaded various strategic recruitment strategies that boosted annual enrollments. Nicole was also an effective cross-departmental collaborator in the launch of several degree and certificate programs. On a more personal note, Nicole embodied strong empathetic skills in addressing and supporting her staff when they were confronted with significant life events. Nicole is a strong asset to any team and organization that chooses to leverage her talents.
