Unlocking Opportunity, Clarity and Support: Meet Our Recruitment Team
Oct 13, 2026 Choosing where and how to pursue postsecondary education is one of the most important decisions a person will make. Many times, that decision is driven by a pivotal conversation that defines opportunities, clarifies options and provides support every step of the way.
"I like to say that everyone is a recruiter. Behind many of the new students joining Sheridan's community each year is a conversation that helped them take their next step with confidence, whether that conversation is with our staff, students or faculty," says Ryan Teeter, Sheridan's Manager of National Student Recruitment.
At the fore of this meaningful work is Sheridan's Student Recruitment team, often the first touchpoint in a student's journey to Sheridan. "We have the unique privilege of connecting with individuals from all walks of life, providing the personalized guidance, reassurance and confidence they seek as they explore what's next," Teeter says. "Whether it's through events and presentations, one-on-one conversations or the many partnerships and relationships that extend our reach across schools, communities and departments, our goal remains the same: to help people find the path that's right for them."
As our recruiters were ramping up for a busy fall that includes school visits, community events and Sheridan's Open House, we asked them about the meaningful work they do, why they love doing it, what they love most about Sheridan, and more.
