Zeman ’10 recognized for college admissions success
Heather Zeman ’10 has been honored both nationally and locally for her work with the New England Association of College Admissions Counselors (NEACAC).
Zeman, a senior assistant director of undergraduate admission at Simmons College in Boston, Mass., received the Rising Star Award from NEACAC, as well as the National Association of College Admissions Counselors’ Rising Star Award. She has chaired NEACAC’s professional development committee and co-chaired the programming committee for the group’s annual meeting and conference.
When she first visited PC as a prospective student, Zeman had a wonderful admission experience. “The Admission Ambassador really made me feel at home at Providence,” she said.
The biology major became an ambassador herself, and “I found my niche and realized I loved working with prospective students and their families,” Zeman said.
She now serves as the international admission counselor for the women’s college, in addition to assisting applicants from California and Colorado. “To give young girls the opportunity to pursue higher education and careers is really empowering,” Zeman said.
