The 2024 Jamestown High School graduate said his favorite thing about Thiel College is “the connections and possibilities available for me. I have made life-long friends here, my professors know me beyond just a face—they know my passions and what I want to do in life. I have been given the opportunity to do so much with my time! Being a double major in year-round athletics, also a part of the honors program, and in a countless number of clubs like SGA and Moot Court. There is an endless amount of possibilities at Thiel and I couldn’t be more thankful for the path of success the College is setting me up for!”
The Thiel Team comprises students employed by the Office of Admission. The students primarily serve as ambassadors for prospective students and their families, but they are also responsible for a variety of other jobs, including work on mailings, market research, telemarketing, event support and other administrative, professional and office duties.
