ATLANTA - Oglethorpe University announces the hiring of Lucy Leusch as Vice President for Enrollment and Financial Aid. Oglethorpe University is Atlanta’s only highly selective coeducational liberal arts institution. Leusch will oversee admission and financial aid at Oglethorpe, which has experienced a record number of applicants and students for the past three years.

“Lucy has accomplished great things wherever she has been, but beyond her accomplishments, you will all come to know her as a fully engaged member of the Oglethorpe Community,” said Oglethorpe President Lawrence M. Schall. “She is a graduate of a small liberal arts college in Indiana, Saint Mary-of-the-Woods, where she began her career in admissions. Lucy has had a long career in admissions and enrollment in a variety of different institutions.”

Leusch comes to Oglethorpe from Atlanta College of Art, where she was Vice President of Enrollment Management for over five years. Previously, Leusch worked at Emory University, DePaul University and Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College. Leusch begins at Oglethorpe on June 12.

Oglethorpe University, founded in 1835, is a member of the Annapolis Group, an organization of America’s 100 most selective liberal arts institutions, and the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference, a ten-member association dedicated to high academic standards. Oglethorpe is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools.
