eRecruitment Advisor at SUNY Brockport
I'm the eRecruitment Advisor here at The College at Brockport, meaning I get to spend A LOT of time on Zinch, Facebook and other fun websites! I've been working at Brockport for 4 years now, and in addition to the Admissions stuff, I also teach web design in the Communication department and work on video and web projects throughout the college. So, I'm kind of the techy person around here! Feel free to contact me with any questions about Brockport!
