Northwestern has a new recruiter Tylar Thompson.
Thompson is an Alva High School graduate and a 4th generation Ranger.
Her great-grandmother attended Northwestern when the university still had the “Castle on the Hill.”
Thompson received a bachelor’s degree in mass communications with a minor in leadership.
She was involved on campus in the Alpha Sigma Alpha sorority and was a part of the President’s Leadership Class.
Thompson said she likes Northwestern for many reasons.
“The traditions and the family aspect are what I like the most,” Thompson said. “Once you are a part of the Ranger family, you stay a part of it.”
Thompson said she enjoys her career as a recruiter. She likes that she can help students with their future and encourage them.
She also said she thinks she‘s already made a difference here at Northwestern.
“A couple of days ago, a lady from California sent me a ‘thank you’ card saying she felt safe here.”
Thompson said she enjoys spending time with her 2-year-old son, Ace. She also likes painting for fun and being outside with family.
Thompson also encouraged anyone looking into a career of being a recruiter to try it.
“Do it,” she said, “because you are going to make a difference.”
