Something not commonly known about Kory. As a
Spanish major at Morehouse, Kory studied in Spain
and the Dominican Republic, and as a law student at
Emory University, he studied in England.
“I do recruitment and admissions, so for
half of the year I travel to high schools,
college fairs, and meet with prospective
students mainly in Indiana, northern
California, New York City, south Florida and
in the Caribbean. During the other half of
the year, I spend more time on the admis
sions side, where I come back and
review files, follow up with students and
talk with parents after the students have
been admitted.
“I went to law school at Emory, but
decided not to practice, at least not for now.
I had an interest in international law, but I
got into higher education, which I like a lot.
But as a Spanish major at Morehouse, one
of the things that I’d like to do is recruit
students who are of Hispanic descent and
try to increase their population here at
Morehouse. And that’s one of the goals here
at Morehouse - to expand the pool of stu
dents we attract to the College.
“I like the opportunity to deal with pre
college age students. I think they are really
optimistic and eager about their futures.
Morehouse is a unique environment and, as
a graduate, I like being able to share that
environment with these prospective stu
dents. Students I meet with generally have
an interest in Morehouse, and the ones I can
bring to Morehouse really seem to feel this is
a good environment for them and they are
excited about being here, so that’s fun.
I think we have a really good staff here. It’s a
fun staff to work with.” ■
