Admissions Counselor

The Admissions Counselor contributes to all aspects of the Admissions process, including travel to recruit students and represent the college, review applications for admission, interview prospective students, lead public presentations to promote the College, build relationships with high school counselors and community based organizations, attend and organize recruitment initiatives both on and off-campus, and partner with colleagues across the College. The Admissions Counselor plays a pivotal role in supporting all areas of recruitment and on-campus programming, while gaining valuable skills and knowledge working in a creative, fast-pace, thoughtful, and compassionate college setting.

All Admissions staff are expected to contribute to Bowdoin’s commitment to equity, diversity, and inclusion. Staff members may have specialized responsibilities with underrepresented students. It is important that the admissions counselor is able to clearly articulate the values and benefits of a liberal arts education and the opportunities available to students at Bowdoin to a wide range of audiences.

The admissions counselor is considered a full-time position for a term of 2-years with a mid-appointment review. Renewal of the 2 year contract or to move into a more permanent position will be determined at the conclusion of the initial term.
