Unsung hero: admissions

Greg MacDonald, VP for enrollment management

Greg MacDonald, Matt Hyde, and the entire team in Admissions have done an outstanding job shepherding us through the pitfalls of the college admissions landscape during the pandemic. Because of their efforts, we have not skipped a beat, and our admissions profile is as strong as ever.

The admissions team’s magnificent contributions to Lafayette precede the pandemic. I have been at Lafayette for almost 25 years, and the improvement in the quality of our students during the past few years has been nothing short of remarkable. Our student body is more diverse, more talented, and higher achieving than at any point in Lafayette’s history, and much of that is due to the entire admissions team.

Thanks to Greg, Matt, and everyone in Admissions for a job extremely well done! —John Shaw, associate professor of psychology
