GENEVA, Ohio, March 4, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- SPIRE Institute and Academy is pleased to announce the hiring of Jennifer Pruzinsky as Director of College Planning and Placement.
A graduate of Waynesburg University with a master's degree in Student Affairs in Higher Education from Indiana University of Pennsylvania, Pruzinsky brings to the international boarding school and sports academy many years of college admissions experience. In addition to working at several smaller colleges, she has held positions at the Ohio State University, Youngstown State University and the National Association for College Admission Counseling.
In her new position at SPIRE, Pruzinsky says her main responsibility is advising and mentoring SPIRE's students to help them plan for their futures and realize their goals. "This is a very important time in our students' lives," she says. "It's part of my job to help them make the best academic and life choices based on their individual needs going forward."
For many, says Pruzinsky, that means helping them select a college, prepare for the SATs and ACTs, and manage the college application process. For others, it may mean looking into other options, like the military or vocational schools. "Every student is an individual," she says, "So I've always tried to meet each one where they are and provide them with whatever support they need in the way they will be most responsive to it."
Pruzinsky, who grew up in Northeastern Ohio, says she was attracted to SPIRE immediately for the excellence of its staff and facilities, as well as its potential for growth in the coming years. "For me, SPIRE is the best of both worlds," she says. "It's location here in Northeastern Ohio is ideal, and it has the ability to draw excellent student athletes from all over the world. I'm excited to be a part of that growth."
"Whether a student athlete aspires to an NCAA Division I, II or III school, an NAIA school, or any other college or university, we believe there's a path for everyone to attain their goals," says Pruzinsky. "At SPIRE, we are committed to helping each student athlete find their best possible college fit based on their personal goals, their ability in their specialty passion and their academic proficiency."
