Joy Velarde
Outreach & Recruitment Coordinator
Send me an email

After advising current students in the Mechanical Engineering department for over 5 years, I am now responsible for outreach and recruitment for the undergraduate and graduate programs so I work primarily with prospective students. I have an M.A. degree in Higher Education Administration from Boston College and a B.S. degree in Psychology from Brigham Young University. I have worked at the University of Utah since 2014. I like walking at the beach, watching TV and movies, and cheering for Boston sports teams.

  • Admitted prospective first-year students who are still deciding where to attend can contact me or their future advisor.
