INTERNATIONAL ADMISSIONS
Dean Preston
International Admissions Officer
Dean holds a strong passion for making JWU a realistic possibility for all students wishing to study in the U.S. Dean takes his Sociology Bachelor's from Saint Anselm College to analyze every student's background and individual needs to provide the best tailored care possible. He typically starts his relationship with prospective students while traveling abroad through the Americas, coming back home to continue to help them with their applications, and finally welcoming them on campus for orientation. When not helping students become as informed and stress-free as possible, Dean can be found at a ski mountain, bowling alley, or skate park.
