Julie Pratt, lead counselor at Frenship High School, has been honored with the Excellence in College Admission Counseling award given by Texas Tech University’s Office of Undergraduate Admissions.
Pratt will be presented with the award Tuesday, September 13, at the McKenzie-Merket Alumni Center on campus.
The award honors college advising professionals who demonstrate actions that go above and beyond to create access to higher education for students; support Texas Tech’s efforts to increase enrollment and diversity and promote student success; and participate in Texas Tech’s recruitment programming.
“Working with Julie has been an absolute honor for our team, as she is deeply committed to the students and makes sure they have all of the resources they need to be college-ready,” said Jamie Hansard, Texas Tech executive director of admissions. “Her dedication to the students is awe-inspiring, and Texas Tech wants to recognize her contributions to these young students’ lives.”
According to the selection committee, Pratt was chosen based on her emphasis in understanding the programs offered by Texas Tech so she is able to better inform her students about the opportunities available to her students at Texas Tech. She has participated in counselor development programs such as Summer Showcase and attends Texas Tech’s annual counselor update.
“Julie starts each semester with a plan and is ready to help each and every kid,” said Hollie Stanton, Texas Tech’s recruitment manager for West Texas. “She spends many hours meeting one on one with the juniors and seniors to make sure they are on task.”
