Hardy is the first staff member from W&L selected to take part in the program since Grace Loughhead, associate dean of admissions, completed the program in 2019-20.
“I am grateful for the nomination and selection to this program,” said Hardy. “We recently had the first session, and I am already learning a great deal that I can bring back to W&L. I look forward to continued growth that benefits my team and allows me to be a better counselor to my students.”
Hardy has been a member of the financial aid staff since 2020, focusing on the QuestBridge program, federal and state grants and Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) processing.
