Greetings, fellow Holties. Well, it's that time again, time to filter through online class lists to find that magical combination of required courses and easy A's... Ahem (clearing throat), I mean classes that peak your interest. To help you get through the trying days ahead, The Sandspur has set-up a special Holt News advisement section this week, to clear up some of the confusion generally associated with registration.
In addition, you'll also find photo's and brief biographies of the Holt school program advisors to provide you with an opportunity to get to know these talented and helpful individuals. Hopefully, this special section will answer some of your lingering questions and ease you through the registration process with the classes you need and the headache's you don't.
Connie Holt, Director of Student Services for the Hamilton Holt School, is also a graduate of Rollins College. Connie received her Bachelor of Arts degree in Anthropology and Sociology in 1988, and her Master of Arts degree in Counseling in May 2000. She has worked for Rollins College in various positions since 1985. "I found my niche when I came to work in the Holt School," she says. "Our goal is to deliver the best student service possible because we realize how much our students rely on the information given to them."
Kathy Bailey is a Holt alumna (B.A. in Humanities '89, MLS '96), grandmother, and soon to be the (self-described) World's Oldest Living Ph.D. student as she pursues her advanced degree in Interdisciplinary Humanities at Florida State University beginning January 2005. She thinks she used to have interests like reading and book collecting but that's in the dim past since she is teaching two courses in addition to her advising duties this semester. Kathy has loved her work as an academic adviser; and though sad to leave Holt and its wonderful students at the end of the fall semester, she feels confident that the Student Services team will look after her former advisees with their usual care and dedication. "Holt staff are the most dedicated and hardworking people I've known in nearly four decades in the work world. They give their all for every student, and it's been an honor to work with them."
Terrie Cole, Academic Adviser for the Hamilton Holt School since 1997, is also our financial aid facilitator and our certifying official for all of Rollins College VA benefits. Terrie gradated from The Ohio State University with her Bachelor of Science in Social Welfare. She is also married with three children, two of whom graduated from Rollins College, one from Arts and Sciences and one from the Hamilton Holt School. "Not only do I enjoy the varied challenges of my work at the Holt School, I enjoy working with the diverse student population in our nurturing and intimate environment."
Matthew Sayti, Academic Adviser for the Hamilton Holt School, is also a recent graduate of Rollins College. An alumnus of Valencia Community College, where he earned his Associate of Arts degree, Matt received his Bachelor of Arts degree in English and Writing from the Holt School in May 2004. Awarded a Holt School scholarship for Peer Advising, he started working with student services in August of 2003. "I know the value of quality advising," says Matt, "having had poor advising during my first attempt at college. A successful college career is heavily dependant on the guidance and resources of your college administration. I'm happy to say that I received the best guidance, as well as the best education, here at Rollins College. And I'm proud to be a part of this community."
