Doris A. Drewry has been named director of admissions for executive programs at the John M. Olin School of Business. She is responsible for marketing the school's three degree programs for executives, offered on weekends, allowing executives to continue their employment while pursuing a degree.
Drewry will oversee the recruitment of students for the three programs -- the Executive Master of Business Administration (EMBA), the Executive Master of Manufacturing Management (EM3 ) and the Executive Master of Business Administration in Health Services Management (HSM).
As part of this function, she is responsible for attracting students locally, regionally and nationally, using means such as advertising, personal contact, publications, events and information sessions. She also is responsible for interviewing applicants and providing them with campus tours. Currently, there are more than 200 executives enrolled in the three programs.
Previously, Drewry held her current position for several months on an interim basis. Before that, she was the assistant director of EMBA admissions. Prior to joining the University in 1997, she held positions at Graphic World and St. Gabriel's School, where she taught at the junior high level.
"Doris has done an excellent job of recruiting prospects for our programs," said William H. Clover, Ph.D., associate dean and the Vernon W. Piper Director of Executive Education at the business school. "She has been proactive, creative and diligent in reaching our target audiences and showcasing the benefits of our executive degree programs, which are in Business Week's Top 20."
Clover added that Drewry would play a key role in the expansion of executive programs keyed to the opening of the $44-million Charles F. Knight Executive Education Center now under construction and set to open in spring 2001.
Drewry, a native St. Louisan, received a bachelor of arts degree in political science and English from Saint Louis University.
