Admission Counselors Making an Impact

Two members of the University of Wisconsin-Platteville Admissions and Recruitment team have been honored by the Wisconsin Association for College Admission Counseling (WACAC), marking the first time UW-Platteville professionals have received individual recognition from the statewide organization.

Jackie Sutton has been selected as WACAC's nominee for the National Association for College Admission Counseling (NACAC) Rising Star Award. The Rising Star Award recognizes individuals who demonstrate exceptional promise, exemplary service, and a commitment to supporting students as they navigate the transition from high school to college. Jackie serves UW-Platteville as the admission counselor for the Milwaukee and Chicago area high schools.

Kyle Munholland has been selected as one of WACAC's nominees for NACAC's NEXT program, a leadership development initiative designed to build the skills and capacity of the next generation of leaders within both affiliate and national admission counseling organizations. Kyle serves UW-Platteville as the admission counselor for the Green Bay and Fox Cities area high schools.

"I couldn't be more proud of Jackie and Kyle. Their dedication, innovation, and genuine care for students are exactly why they're being recognized by WACAC," said their supervisor, Megan Jensen, assistant director of undergraduate recruitment. "They are both incredible leaders and great representatives of UW-Platteville."

WACAC is the Wisconsin affiliate of the National Association for College Admission Counseling, the nation's leading professional association of secondary school counselors, college admission professionals, and community-based organizations committed to supporting students throughout the college search and application process.
