Name: Starr Albert
Campus Engagement Specialist
Hometown: Rock Hill, South Carolina
Education: Winthrop University - B.S. Elementary Education
What makes Winthrop special to you?
What makes Winthrop special to me is the friendly, family community atmosphere here
among the staff, faculty, and students and their families! I love being able to meet
and greet so many guests and interact with our campus population, and I try to make
it a point to learn the new folks on campus and call them by their first name. Winthrop
has so many resources to offer students of all ages here too and that is special.
What is your favorite part of Winthrop?
Besides coming to a clean, beautiful, and great diverse campus, I feel safe here while
at work. I am rewarded daily while meeting and greeting prospective students and
their families from South Carolina, throughout the United States and the whole world.
Being part of Winthrop's workforce that loves sharing knowledge so we all can be successful
also makes me want to remain at Winthrop forever!
What advice do you have for an incoming student?
Winthrop has something for everyone (first time freshmen, military, adults of all
ages) with the wide range of majors (undergraduate and graduate); smaller classrooms
so professors can get to know you; clubs, student services, and resources; and professors,
faculty, staff, and coaches who truly care about you, and you being successful in
life because of your Winthrop education and experience.
