“I was looking at schools about 30 years ago. I don't know what the student experience is like. It's hard for me to say having worked in higher education for over 20 years, but I have to accept that. I have to let my students do it for me. That's why we have Mentor Collective. That's why the Molloy Mentor exists. They are that bridge to that student experience.”
Steve Ostendorff, Dean of Admissions, Molloy University
“Being able to provide immediate support before a situation is elevated to need a crisis response is important, the other piece of it is being able to tell the story of what our students are experiencing. 'Student with higher financial need' is not a visible identity. In order for us to better serve that group from an enrollment and financial aid perspective, we have to be aware of what they’re facing to be effective advocates.”
