Background

About Shamia Gaither

As a Transfer Admission Advisor at Notre Dame de Namur University, I build and maintain relationships with prospective students from inquiry to enrollment. I travel to community college campuses to inform them of NDNU's program offerings and assist them with the application process. I enjoy helping students achieve their academic and career goals and find the best fit for their interests and needs. I have a strong background in art and education, with a Master of Fine Arts degree from Rutgers University and a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Spalding University. I have also participated in various art programs and residencies, such as Yale Norfolk and Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. I have experience in art museum programming, gallery management, and higher education art instruction, working with non-profits, artists, and students. I have multiple skills in volunteer coordination, attention to detail, and writing, which I apply to my current and previous roles. I am passionate about art and education and seek to contribute to the field with my diverse and creative experiences.
