At Millsaps, creating a welcoming, supportive and personalized experience for prospective students and their families is at the heart of the admissions process. As part of strengthening that experience, the college has promoted Geneva Torrence to Director of Admissions and Rachel Dennis to Assistant Director of Admissions.
These leadership updates ensure prospective students have clear pathways to connect with Millsaps, responsive support throughout the admissions journey and a more seamless transition from inquiry to enrollment.
Torrence Named Director of Admissions
Geneva Torrence, who joined Millsaps in 2022, has held several student-focused leadership roles across campus. In her new position as Director of Admissions, she will guide the college’s recruitment and admissions strategy, lead the admissions team and work closely with departments across campus to support students and families throughout the recruitment, application and financial aid process.
Her background in student coaching, career development and program leadership, combined with her deep understanding of the Millsaps mission, positions her to strengthen outreach efforts and help prospective students better understand the academic and community experience Millsaps offers.
Dennis Promoted to Assistant Director of Admissions
Rachel Dennis has been promoted to Assistant Director of Admissions, where she will play a key role in supporting recruitment goals, assisting with divisional initiatives and helping ensure an efficient admissions process.
Dennis will continue serving many of the Millsaps’ prospective Louisiana students while also contributing to data analysis, process improvements and special interest visit events.
Her experience as an Admissions Counselor, paired with her background in communication, education and event coordination, provides a valuable perspective as the college continues to refine how it engages students and families.
“We’re thrilled to have both Geneva and Rachel step into these important roles,” said Aaron Pelch, vice president of enrollment. “Together, their leadership will help us strengthen recruitment efforts, enhance the student experience and continue advancing the mission of Millsaps College.”
