Robin Close - Admissions Representative - Greenwood
 |
| When students want to jumpstart their careers , they look to Indiana Tech. It's
a thrill to work with motivated students who've said they're tired of the
humdrum job and are making a change. They're going after success like a train
picking up speed right out of the station. All I do is hand them the map, or in
this case, the class schedule.
Educational background:
BA in business with marketing concentration, Franklin College, 1989
Hobbies/Interests:
My husband and I have six children, plus I'm the Sunday School director at
my church. I enjoy playing on the co-ed softball team, but have admitted that I
feel like I'm running faster than I really am. More fun days will find me out
in the backyard with the horses, bike riding with the kiddos, or setting off
the smoke alarm when flash-frying dinner. (Now even the 8-year-old can order
pizza, but is only allowed to when I'm standing on a chair taking batteries out
of a lying smoke alarm!)
