Get to Know Robin Rhodes Astor
What is your favorite way to engage with the Slate community?
Slate Summit! The opportunity to meet our clients and other users in person is definitely a highlight of the year for me. I love the energy, synergy, and inspiration that is a part of this particular conference experience. Everyone leaves feeling empowered to make changes and updates on their campus (and where else can you literally return home with a suitcase full of possible solutions!)
How did you first come to Slate?
Having managed enrollment operations on different (and less flexible) platforms, my former institution finally decided to make the leap to Slate and I was excited to lead the way. I thrived in a role where I was able to map out and develop what the system could do to help us achieve our goals (versus needing to conform to systems that weren’t nearly as user-friendly or admission-driven.)
When you're not Slating, what are you doing?
I get outdoors whenever possible and enjoy long walks and hikes (where, believe it or not, I often have my best Slate a-ha moments as I decompress work projects in my head!). I also enjoy any and all excuses to travel, be with family and friends, and catch live music.
