On episode 8 of season 2, TJ & Sarah are joined by Andre Kilzer! Andrew founded Texas FilmWorks in 2016 after years of working in the Texas video & film production industry.

He and his lovely wife Jen are the parents of three small humans.

Our special guests today are Kathryn Meyer, Director of Admissions/Recruitment and Ashlee Treadway, Assistant Director of Admissions at the Bush School of Government & Public Service at Texas A&M University. 

Kathryn has been with the Bush School for 19 years, handling much of the School’s recruitment marketing, communications, and events as well as overseeing the general admissions process for its on-campus degrees. Kathryn attends and presents at national conferences geared for graduate admissions professionals and is constantly learning to keep up in this fast-paced world. Kathryn is married, has two daughters attending Texas A&M, is a dedicated softball player, enjoys fire-pit time and her husband’s cooking, and loves serving alongside the incredible Bush School students who are so dedicated to others.

Ashlee has been with the Bush School for almost 6 years. She spent over four years as a student services program coordinator for the Office of Extended Education before transitioning into her current role working with on-campus students.  Ashlee is heavily involved in recruitment communications and efficiency, and she processes all applications for the School’s four on-campus degrees and National Security Affairs certificate. Ashlee is married, passionate about Aggie football and basketball, and loves animals (although she’s allergic to them). Ashlee is honored to play a role, albeit small, as students start their journey as public servants.    

Today we’ll be diving in to the recruitment process; traditionally what was done, how COVID affected that and will you be transitioning back to the traditional process or implement new ones moving forward.
