The purpose of the newsletter
is to update the IU Northwest community on recent
activities of the administrative units that make
up the Enrollment Services Council (ESC) at IU Northwest,
including Admissions, Bursar, Career Services, Financial
Aid & Scholarships, Placement
Testing, Registrar, and Special Retention Programs.
Major Transition in Enrollment Services
Enrollment Services has undergone a major transition
this fall within the Office of the Registrar.
On October 1st our long-time Registrar, Peter Kesheimer,
retired. Peter was a terrific Registrar and a true
professional. All of us in Enrollment Services will
miss Peter greatly. He was one of the finest persons
that I have had the opportunity to work with at I.U.
Northwest. Those of us in Enrollment Services wish
Peter the very best in his retirement!
Our new Registrar is Jo Anne Bowen.
Jo Anne has given significant service to Indiana University
. She worked at I.U. in the system-wide student records
area for over 25 years. She served in Bloomington as
Assistant to the University Registrar, Assistant University
Registrar, Director of Admissions/Registrar Services
within University Enrollment Services, and Director
of University Student Systems Services. Just prior
to joining us, Jo Anne served as Director of Academic
Policies and Procedures (within I.U. Student Enrollment
Services). A native of Gary, Jo Anne attended both
I.U. Northwest and Bloomington as a student, receiving
her B.S. degree in Business at Bloomington .
We are very pleased to have Jo Anne join Enrollment
Services.
