Beyond Allan
Clemow’s retirement, there are many exciting changes to the
admissions staff this summer.
Susan Garrity
Ardizzoni was appointed to Director of Admissions, where she will
draw on her experience in admissions at Allegheny College, Yale
University and here at Tufts. This role includes management of
publications and communications, direction of application processing
and its related administrative and database functions, and
supervision of multiple staff members.
Darryl Tiggle,
Associate Director of Admissions, will succeed Susan as coordinator
ofTufts Alumni Admissions Program policy, outreach, administration
and program design. Darryl will continue to direct Tufts diversity
recruitment and outreach.
This summer the
Admissions Office will welcome two staff members to our team; Walker
Coppedge as Associate Director of Enrollment for Access & Retention
and Adam Goodman as an Assistant Director of Admissions.
Walker recently
graduated from Harvard University’s Graduate School of Education
with a Master’s degree in school leadership. While at Harvard, he
interned at Tufts as an application reader in the admissions office
and completed research focused on the structural barriers that
prevent colleges like Tufts from accepting students from urban
schools as well as retention strategies institutions can implement
to guide urban students through the college transition process.
Before enrolling at Harvard last fall, he completed a
highly-successful, eight-year tenure at Epiphany School in
Dorchester, where he was one of the founding administrators at this
middle school that serves students from low socioeconomic
backgrounds. At Tufts, he will design new outreach strategies for
students from urban schools, with an initial emphasis on Boston,
Cambridge, Somerville and Medford. Walker will cultivate college
awareness among middle school and early high school-age students;
partner with Tisch College on related access initiatives; and
collaborate with members of our Education Department on their school
outreach work.
Adam Goodman
rejoins the admissions office as an Assistant Director after
spending the last year as a high school teacher at a charter school
in South Texas. Adam, a graduate of Tufts and former officer here
in Bendetson, will utilize his recent experience in secondary
education to enhance and expand our diversity outreach. Drawing on
his year as a TAAP Chair, Adam will also assume the day-to-day
coordination of the program; the planning and implementation of TAAP
events; partnering with the Alumni Office; initiating an outreach
program to Tufts alumni who work as high school teachers; and
expanding our volunteers of color in key cities across the country.
Adam joins us in August. |
