Cardenas Named Boise State Director of Admissions

Jennifer Cardenas, director of new student programs at Portland State University for the past eight years, has been named director of admissions at Boise State University.

While at Portland State Cardenas’ accomplishments included the launching of communication plans directed at out-of-state students and students of color that resulted in significant enrollment increases in both categories. Prior to her time at Portland State she served as program coordinator, assistant director and associate director in the Office of Admissions at Wichita State University. In addition she was the assistant director of orientation and freshmen year programs at the University of Texas, San Antonio.

Cardenas’ experience at public four-year institutions in metropolitan locations has positioned her to bring many new institution appropriate ideas to Boise State, said Michael Laliberte, Boise State’s vice president for student affairs. Cardenas will start her job at Boise State in mid-August.
