Hello, my name is Sean Rowan. My job as a recruiter is to keep you informed about the opportunities at WesternU. As a graduate student, I realize how difficult it can be to select a graduate or professional school program that will fit your goals and lifestyle. Therefore, I am available to provide you with information to help you make educated choices and decisions. Although I specialize in WesternU's developing College of Dental Medicine, I can also advise you on the application and admissions process of any WesternU program. Please feel free to contact me by phone (909) 469-5596 or email. I look forward to working with you.

What is your best advice for an applicant? My best advice for all applicants would be to stay focused, and to not get discouraged!
