Announcing the Recipient of the Inaugural InitialView Fellowship

It is with great pleasure we announce that Michelle Naito-Lo, an admission officer at Occidental College in Los Angeles, has been selected as the inaugural InitialView Fellow. During the 2016-2017 academic cycle, she will be a member of the core InitialView team, stationed in Beijing and traveling with us to conduct interviews all over China and the world.

Among the many applications we received, Michelle stood out in part because of the recommendation from her colleagues in the admission office. We are grateful to Occidental College for supporting Michelle’s Fellowship application, and we are confident that we can pack many years of international admissions experience into the short time she will be with us.

We would also like to thank the many admission officers who applied for this opportunity. All of us are acutely aware of what it takes to put oneself forward as a candidate in a selection process, and we sincerely appreciate and respect all of those who participated. We hope that all of you will consider applying again next year, and we look forward to connecting personally with each of you in the upcoming months.

In the meantime, please join us in congratulating Michelle. We’re excited that the InitialView Fellowship is already off to such a great start.
