Posternock Joins Admissions Staff
Michael Alan Posternock, a native of
Wildwood Crest, recently accepted employ
ment with Chowan College as an Admissions
Representative to work principally with
secondary schools in New York and New
Jersey. “He has been employed from
September through December, a period
when heavy demands for travel are placed
upon members of the admissions staff,”
said G. Thomas Taylor, director of admis
sions.
Continued Taylor, “Posternock should
represent Chowan College well. He relates
well with people. He knows Chowan and the
benefits available to students who study
with us.” Posternock is a former
photography major and quarterback on the
football team.
Students from the Northeast have increas
ed their interest in Chowan because of the
low cost and variety of academic pro
grams.' ‘Most of Chowan’s students from
New York and New Jersey enroll in math-
science, pre-engineering, printing
technology, photography, and art. Many of
these students, both men and women, par
ticipate on one or more of the nine inter
collegiate athletic teams,” continued
Taylor.
