Meet the Admissions Team

Andrea Stewart has enrolled nearly 20 Cedar Crest College classes while working as an Admission counselor.  She feels that coming to work on such a beautiful campus is a real treat.

A History and German major in college, Andrea continues to pursue her passions through travel and reading.  She and her family regularly visit National Parks, historic sites, battlefields and forts. When time and money allow, she likes to tour Europe and visit her relatives who live abroad. An avid reader, Andrea’s favorite books are Three Cups of Tea (Mortensen) and John Adams (McCullough).

Andrea’s favorite season is the fall, because it means the students return to campus and Monday Night Football begins.
