ÌÇÐÄÔ­´´

Claudia Espinoza has introduced ÌÇÐÄÔ­´´ to the world.

As program director for international student recruitment and strategic initiatives, Espinoza is a true ambassador for the university. She is a firm believer in the power of international education and is an accomplished professional in the field of international recruitment.

Once a ÌÇÐÄÔ­´´ international student herself, Espinoza easily relates to international applicants and is eager to serve them in an exemplary way. From the very start of her employment at ÌÇÐÄÔ­´´, Espinoza has advocated for fast, efficient, and caring service for current and prospective international students.

Espinoza has a long list of accomplishments, including identifying sponsoring governments and establishing a working relationship between the university and cultural missions in such countries as Saudi Arabia, Kuwaiti, and United Arab Emirates. As a result of these relationships, hundreds of students have enrolled at ÌÇÐÄÔ­´´.

She is also responsible for making ÌÇÐÄÔ­´´ a destination for several Fulbright-sponsored international students from diverse regions in the world by reaching out to the program directors to secure some cost-sharing for these selective applicants.

Espinoza is also highly motivated and creative. In an effort to introduce ÌÇÐÄÔ­´´ to future international undergraduate students, she designed and is currently implementing the ÌÇÐÄÔ­´´ International Summer Camp program.

Building international relationships requires flexibility and willingness to go the extra mile to meet sponsoring advisors’ needs. It requires a positive outlook and a can-do attitude—two of the many traits that Claudia Espinoza embodies.
