Check out our first episode of our new podcast, URock Talks! In this week's episode, UMA Rockland Center Director Chip Curry interviews our MEOC/Financial Aid advisor, Dori Leadbetter. Dori is a skilled advisor who speaks from a place of personal experience. Like many at UMA, Dori went to college later in life. Her own TRIO/MEOC advisor was invaluable when she was pursuing her degree. Upon graduation, Dori decided to become an MEOC advisor herself to give that gift back to the community.
