Dawn Rhoads
Student Financial Assistance Coordinator
My role in the Office of Student Financial Assistance includes tracking all documents needed for financial aid processing and notifying students and parents of any missing documents. I also disburse financial aid to students accounts, complete quality control checks of all student files, and assist students and parents when they call or visit the office.
Background
I began working at Ursinus in 2004 as an administrative assistant and have been happy here since day one. I really enjoy interacting with students and parents, which makes my job fun and interesting. Previously, I worked at animal hospitals for 25 years and gained a lot of customer service experience that I brought with me to Ursinus. Although I love animals and miss taking care of them and their people at the animal hospital, I have always felt that coming to Ursinus and becoming a part of this community was a good decision.
When not at work my favorite thing to do is spend time with family. Our favorite family activities are camping, hiking, biking, and going on cruises.
