Like Hilary, our Admissions Counselors are all VSU graduates. They have all been where you are and have asked all the same questions - so don’t be afraid to reach out. CONNECT WITH YOUR COUNSELOR Dowling Payne ADMISSIONS COUNSELOR “Valdosta State gave me the freedom to be myself. By getting to know my professors and advisers well, I was not only able to do well in the classroom, but I was also able to receive their guidance for job interviews, even landing an internship with ESPN. Success is easily reached if you work hard, seek opportunity, and keep learning from those around you.” Eric Callaway ADMISSIONS COUNSELOR “At Valdosta State I was given every opportunity to become the person I wanted to be. I was involved with football, Greek Life, music, and student employment, and I did all of it while earning my degree in English.” Brittney Bartholomew ADMISSIONS COUNSELOR “As a first-generation college student, VSU gave me the necessary tools to be successful. With support from faculty and staff, I excelled in the classroom, led campus organizations, and gained real-world work experience. I am thankful for the faculty and staff who helped me realize my potential and made me into the person I am today.” To learn more about all of the admissions counselors or meet your counselor visit valdosta.edu/counselor.
