Colleen Leigh is the assistant dean of enrollment management and student success at the Newmark J-School. She is passionate about centering student experiences and working with students from underrepresented groups. She helps to oversee admissions, student affairs, career services and alumni affairs; she also helps coordinate strategic planning and develops on-campus programming. “My goal is always focused on how we can recruit and retain talented students, what best serves them while they are here, and how we can keep them engaged with their alma mater,” Leigh said.

What brought you to CUNY? “I lived in Georgia and worked in college admissions when I applied. I was looking to return home to New Jersey, and saw that the School of Journalism was seeking an admissions counselor. With my background in journalism and higher education, I thought that role would be the perfect fit for me. I was also excited that it was a brand new CUNY school in Times Square and next door to The New York Times! Here I am, 16 years later, still proud to be part of the J-School and CUNY.”

What do you do for fun? “I enjoy traveling, singing karaoke, planting indoors and gardening outdoors, creating photo albums and scrapbooks and exercising — so I can keep up with our students!”
