In working with prospective students, Brown can draw on her own experiences as a Tusculum student. She earned a bachelor’s degree in English literature from Tusculum College in 2014.

Prior to joining the Tusculum staff, Brown worked at Mountain View Bulk Foods and at the Johnson City Medical Center. While attending Tusculum, she gained experience in working with “The Tusculum Review” and with the Tusculum Theatre Box Office.

“Bonnie is going to be part of the team right from the start,” said Melissa Ripley, executive director of enrollment management operations and traditional admission. “Her attitude and her story of her experience at Tusculum make her the right fit for this team.”

Tassell, a 2010 graduate of Tusculum, has been named enrollment representative for the Tusculum College Graduate and Professional Studies program. She is also the owner of KFit, LLC, located in Greeneville. KFit is an in-home personal training business. During her time at Tusculum, she was a member of the Tusculum College cross country team.

“We are excited to announce Katie as our new enrollment representative,” said Lindsey Seal, director of GPS enrollment. “Katie is a good fit with our team and is ready to assist working adults who want to complete or begin their college undergraduate degree or those who are ready to begin their master’s degree program.”

In her new role, Tassell will work with potential students of the Graduate and Professional Studies program through all aspects of the enrollment process.  She will serve as a recruiter, but also as a resource for anyone interested in finding out more about continuing or starting their path to an advanced degree.
