MACOMB/MOLINE, IL – To further promote Western Illinois University and its academic programs, Kynli Finley has been named as WIU's new admissions marketing coordinator, effective July 6.
Finley has served as the coordinator of admissions and recruitment at Cabarrus College of Health Sciences, Concord, NC, since 2019. In this role, Finley was responsible for the recruitment of prospective students and assisting in the admissions process, including planning admissions-related events. Previously, she was a new student specialist at Montana State University-Billings, and also has worked in the newspaper industry as a journalist and social media coordinator.
"We look forward to Kynli joining the communication division in this new position at WIU. The admissions marketing coordinator will further enhance our University-wide marketing efforts by specifically promoting our outstanding academic programs to prospective students," said Darcie Shinberger, executive director of the Division of University Communications.
Finley received her bachelor's degree from Southeast Missouri State University and her associate degree from Lincoln Land Community College.
"I'm thrilled to join the University Communications and the Undergraduate Admissions teams to help improve enrollment efforts. Western is an incredible institution with a long history of providing a quality education to students, and my father was one of those students. He is a proud Leatherneck and graduate of one of the University's outstanding programs," Finley said. "I'm excited to help future Leathernecks discover their endless potential at Western."
Reporting to University Communications, and working directly with Undergraduate Admissions and Enrollment Management, the admissions marketing coordinator strategizes, develops and implements communications for academic program recruitment. Serving both the Macomb and Quad Cities campuses, the admissions marketing coordinator will enhance academic program recruitment and enrollment by developing and executing multiple recruitment/communication campaigns.
