College Admissions Professional of the Month

From the Nominator: Jimmy's dedication to access in higher education and passion for helping first-generation students like himself make him a great advocate. Jimmy started the first chapter of Tri Alpha (an honors society for first-generation students) in the state of Colorado here at Mines, and serves as the faculty advisor. In addition to his admissions counselor role, Jimmy plans our residential summer program SUMMET that is geared toward first-generation students that are excited about STEM. Jimmy puts a lot of thought into the programming, and cares deeply for the students he serves. His work ethic is unmatched, and we are so lucky to have him on the Mines team!
