Caitlin Harper
Former Senior Associate Director of Admission at Lewis & Clark College
Caitlin Harper is proud of and grateful for the life-changing experience she had at a liberal arts and sciences college. She loved her alma mater, Lewis & Clark College, so much that she decided not to leave after graduation, spending the next ten years working her way up to Senior Associate Director of Admission. She went on to spend two years as the Director of Admission Marketing and Events at Willamette University before realizing that she wanted to bring her work and impact back down to the individual level and joined the Collegewise team as a college counselor.
