Admissions counseling

For NCAA Division II athleticsA Western Oregon University admissions counselors will work with potential athletes during the admissions process to help them understand and prepare for being a student athlete at WOU.

 

My name is David Compton

David Compton: admissions counselor for prospective college students at Western Oregon University

I am an Admissions Counselor from Western Oregon University. I graduated from Western Oregon University in 2005 with a Bachelor of Science in Health Education. I was born in Vallejo, California and before attending Western Oregon University I lived on the Southern Oregon Coast, for 17 years, in a small town called Port Orford, Oregon. My high school graduating class totaled 35 students, and I entered WOU as a first generation student. Needless to say I am a small town kind of guy. My recruiting territories include many Oregon counties as well as Nevada. I am also the Athletic Liaison for WOU, so if you have a question about participating in any of our NCAA Division II athletics please feel free to ask me a question. While at WOU I was involved with Residential Life as a Resident Assistant and I spent two years working for the Admissions Office as a campus tour guide and a tele-counselor. Feel free to ask me any question that you may have and I will do my best to give you the most accurate answer.

My name is Justin Strohmeyer

Justin Strohmeyer: admissions counselor and I am an Admissions Counselor and Telecounseling Coordinator at Western Oregon University. I grew up in Corvallis, Oregon where I had family that worked at the local university, and I knew from a very early age that I loved being around a college campus.

After getting my Bachelor of Science degree in Sociology in 2007 I knew that I still belonged on a college campus and Western was a perfect place to apply my experience. Each day I drive from my hometown to Western’s campus in Monmouth, Oregon. My sleepy 25 minute drive each morning consists of hot coffee and a loud radio, but by the time I get here I am eager to get my day going.

I am very fortunate to be a part of this institution. I am excited to come to this beautiful campus everyday, I am prepared to apply my recent college experience to relate to today’s students, and most importantly I am anxious to meet all of you. Come say hi and I’ll do my best to answer your questions.

 

Justin Strohmeyer’s counties: Benton, Lincoln, Polk, Yamhill, Tillamook, Clatsop and Columbia Counties.

Out of State: California
