Jeanie Bell will retire on Sep. 30, 2019, from the Office of Admissions. She is a leader in the field of international admissions and credential evaluation and has been a resource on he nuances of international admissions for not only admissions staff, but campus partners and colleagues both nationally and  internationally. These nuances include not only credential evaluation, but also undergraduate GPA processing, late arrivals, English proficiency, immigration processing for initial attendance, graduate transfer credit, financial statements and proof of funding, and all the other myriad things that go into international processing. She has worked tirelessly on behalf of applicants to CU Boulder and genuinely cares about and appreciates the populations she has served over her 21+ year career at CU.

Jeanie has been a strong and supportive leader for her team, providing mentorship and advocating for them however she could. Jeanie is a consummate professional and has been heavily involved with organizations like NAFSA, TAICEP and AACRAO, moderating panels, presenting, and participating in working groups, all of which allowed her to share her considerable expertise with other institutions. She also currently serves on the Board of Directors of ECE, a prominent credential evaluation organization.

Jeanie’s departure will be a huge loss for the admissions office and the CU Boulder campus, but she has a wonderful team eager to take up the mantle and continue to serve our international applicants with the same dedication that Jeanie has always shown. Jeanie's future plans include travel with her husband Larry Bell, also a retiree of CU Boulder.
