Denise Nijhuis, MA

I work at University College Roosevelt (UCR) as Coordinator for Student Recruitment and Admissions, where I’m responsible for the full admissions cycle—from outreach and lead generation to selection and enrollment. I graduated from UCR in 2011 with a BA in Liberal Arts and Sciences (Anthropology, Law, and Religious Studies), and after completing an MA in Nationalism Studies in Budapest, I returned to Middelburg in 2013 to join the UCR team. Since then, I’ve contributed to shaping our recruitment strategy and strengthening relationships with prospective students, schools, and families, always aiming to make the admissions process clear, accessible, and thoughtful. As part of a small and collaborative office, I’m also involved in broader areas such as marketing, (strategic) communication, and organizing events.
