was director of academic advising and student services for
the Elliott School of International Affairs.
In that post, he oversaw orientation, and advising and

previous decade, he directed Freshman Advising
Programs for the School of Arts and Sciences and, prior to
that, worked in university admissions. A

Since 1998, Liza Thompson has been director of Goucher
College's Post-Baccalaureate
Premedical Program, which she joined in 1993. As director,
