Awards of Distinction

Dr. Nate Weigl is senior director of App State Transfer Admissions and Engagement, as well as the interim lead for First Year Recruitment and the Campus Visit Experience in App State's Office of Admissions. Prior to his work in the Division of Enrollment Management, Weigl taught in the Department of Mathematical Sciences for eight years.

According to one of his nominators, Weigl has been instrumental in leading a team of App State employees who develop innovative and creative approaches to strengthen enrollment, including Hickory Pop Ups, which are high-touch recruitment events designed to increase access to an App State education held in dozens of communities in the region.

"Nate was unwavering in resolve to figure out how these events could work, and helped staff understand that even by helping only one family, it was a win," the nominator added.

In 2018, Weigl earned a Master of Business Administration and a Doctor of Education in educational leadership with a concentration in higher education, both from App State.
