LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Marymount California University has appointed Sharon Maher as its enrollment coordinator for the new Lakeside Campus in Lucerne.
Maher's responsibilities include assisting prospective students with the application and financial aid processes.
Michelle Scully, executive director of the Lakeside Campus, welcomed Maher to the university and is impressed by Maher’s dynamism and commitment.
“My personal experience with financial aid and being a working student, fuels my desire to help others navigate through the enrollment process and achieve their educational goals,” Maher said.
The Lakeside Campus of Marymount California University will open this fall for students who are completing their bachelor’s degrees in psychology, business or liberal arts with emphases in psychology and business.
For those students wanting to return to college for a master’s degree, the university offers a master in science in community psychology, a master of science in leadership and global development, and a master of business administration.
Maher was raised in Lake County and graduated from Clear Lake High School.
She attained her mortuary science degree and embalmers/funeral directors licenses at American River College, Sacramento. After finishing her apprenticeship in Santa Rosa, she returned to Lake County to work for Chapel of the Lakes Mortuary.
Simultaneously, she enrolled at Mendocino College and will graduate with her second associate degree this spring. She has plans to attend Marymount California University to earn her bachelor’s degree.
“I have a very strong passion for both education and my community. At my prior job, I valued being able to be supportive to those in need and I feel the same way as I approach my job as an enrollment coordinator,” said Maher.
Maher added, “I'm happy to be working for Marymount because I believe their mission of 'fostering a student-centered approach to learning that promotes the development of the whole person' demonstrates how Marymount cares about each student. I love Lake County and I look forward to being able to use what I learned through my own experiences to help students.”
