Hi! My name is Kasey Rife and I am from Haysi, Virginia. I am a 2020 alumna of UVA Wise and majored in Communication Studies. I am excited to introduce you to my alma mater. Before attending the College, I went on a tour and fell in love with our campus. My favorite memories as a student all took place while attending different events on campus. Being involved really made a difference for me! My favorite things about being the Assistant Director of Admissions is getting to know the students I recruit and overseeing the student ambassador program. Being able to watch students go through the recruitment process and then seeing them end up on campus is so rewarding! I love watching their successes. I look forward to meeting you!
