Berenice is currently an admissions counselor at EOU. She has been in her current position since September 2021. So what brought you to EOU? “I came to EOU initially as a member of the track and cross country team and a student with an emphasis on art.” Berenice worked as a student photographer in University Advancement and with Admissions as a social media intern during her undergrad. What is your favorite part about working for EOU? “The people and the supportive and positive office culture. I know not everyone is as fortunate as I am to have that environment.” How do you see yourself making a positive impact in the EOU community? “I want to make it more diverse. Sometimes diversity can mean different things to many people, but I really want students to see diversity on campus and not have to seek it out on their own. When I was on campus there were not a lot of students like me in the Art major. I want students to see themselves no matter what degree they choose at Eastern.
