"Associate Director: To be honest, this job opportunity came out of nowhere. As a Greek Orthodox Christian, Hellenic College Holy Cross was an institution that I always knew of, as many of my friends had pursued their education at HCHC, and it is a highly recognized school in the field of Orthodox Christian theology. When I was working at SJU as an Admissions Counselor, I went to visit a friend in Boston, who works in the Office of Vocation and Ministry (campus ministry) at Hellenic College, and she asked me to meet her on campus. When I arrived, she was in a meeting--so I decided to kill some time and go to the Admissions Office to take a tour. As I was not a prospective student, I explained to the Admissions staff that as a Greek Orthodox Christian, I was always intrigued by the only Greek Orthodox Christian college in the US and that a few of my friends have expressed interest in further studies. After my tour, I had the opportunity to get to know the Director of Admissions, and eventually he asked what I did for a living, I explained that I actually worked in Admissions for my alma mater, a Jesuit, Catholic University. He was intrigued that I had admissions experience, spoke Greek fluently, and understood the mission of the school; he informed me that their office was hiring and encouraged me to apply. While I was not looking to transition just yet, I did apply and eventually was offered a growth opportunity and promotion that I could not pass up. As for the Adjunct Professor position, I was actively looking to teach part-time in a community college or small, private college in the Boston area. During my search, I came across an open position at the college I work at full-time, as an Adjunct Professor for our First-year Academic Studies Program--an academic success program for students in their first-year. I was beyond excited, as I had worked with our Academic Dean to develop and execute the First-year Academic Studies Program. I was nervous, as I did not have any prior teaching experience; however, the director of the program interviewed me and offered me the job due to my strong graduate academics, admissions experience, and enthusiasm for the FASP program."
