A year after graduating with a degree in sports management, Central Methodist University alumna Anne Ziegler is returning to join the enrollment management team as an admissions counselor.
A native of Kelso, Mo., Ziegler originally came to Central to pursue a nursing degree but later chose to focus on sports management. She is now pursuing a master’s degree in education, with a focus on athletic administration. She hopes to one day become an athletic director and possibly coach softball or soccer.
In the meantime, however, Ziegler will serve as an admissions counselor for her alma mater, helping facilitate the admissions process for part-time and non-traditional students in particular. With four years of experience on campus as a student, an athlete, and an active member of Zeta Psi Lambda, she has the expertise to help any CMU recruits through the process.
“When choosing a college, it is important for it to feel like home,” she said. “Central has certainly had that impact on me and I would love to get the chance to help other prospective students find their home away from home.”
Having stayed in the Fayette area since graduating, Ziegler says most of her free time is spent hanging out with friends in town and “enjoying the Fayette life.”
