With only one out of 12 applicants gaining admission, Kaplan Newsweek calls College of the Ozarks one of the “choosiest colleges” in the nation. The Office of Admissions processes thousands of applications and conducts many interviews yearly to select new crops of students.
With over four thousand applicants this past year, Dean of Admissions Marci Linson requested more space for interviews. The College of the Ozarks’ Admissions Office has been under renovation but is nearing completion after months of hard work by the C of O Construction Department.
The Admissions Office is temporarily located on the second floor of the Keeter Gymnasium and is permanently located on the second floor of the Administration building. The staff and student workers have been in the gym since April 15, but the renovation began in the fall 2008 semester.
It became increasingly noticeable that the Admissions Office was short on space, but after the rush of applicants this past year, the College decided to take action. With the sponsorship of the Alumni Association and the labor provided by the Construction Department, the much-needed expansion is well underway.
The Admissions Office first moved to the Administration building in the early 90s, when there were minor changes made, and in 1998, the office received two new walls for the director’s office. Since then, there have not been any major renovations.
When the new office is completed, it will house three new offices for interviews, a conference room, and storage space beneath the new addition with an elevator that will provide easy access to supplies and files. Additionally, Dr. Linson, the office manager, and administrative representatives will receive more work space. The old space will be utilized as an office for 16 student workers during the school year.
The renovation is set to be completed by August 1.
