Natalie Canfield

Admissions Counselor

ncanfield@prescott.edu

Although Natalie graduated with a BA in Environmental Studies from Prescott College in December 2003, her college career began as a Ballet Major at Texas Christian University. After an unfortunate injury, she decided to attend a program at Columbia University's Biosphere 2 Center where she did extensive travel in vans and hands-on learning. The teaching style suited her learning style and she headed to Prescott College where she was able to study law, policy, human rights, and activism in a holistic way.

When she is not actively recruiting for Prescott College, she enjoys sea kayaking, any kind of dancing, and rock climbing. As an Admissions Counselor for Prescott College, she hopes to broaden awareness of the college to diverse populations. "Prescott College provides an intellectually diverse environment where you are encouraged to follow your passions to fruition. If you like to follow your passions and thrive on intellectual energy, you belong at Prescott College."

Lydia Rowe

Director of Admissions - Tucson Center

ext. 106

lrowe@prescott.edu

Lydia has been with the Prescott College Tucson Center since 1990, initially as a student and then as an employee.  She continues to promote the mission of Prescott College as the Director of Admissions for the Tucson Center.  This seemed like a natural role for her after the program itself had worked so well for her.  As an Arizona native who was born in one of the outlying communities we serve, Patagonia, Arizona, Lydia finds the border region remarkably unique and diverse, geographically and culturally, when compared with many other places.   Lydia feels quite sure she will always be fascinated by the magnificent Sonoran Desert, where she tries to spend a great deal of time hiking, reflecting, and mingling with the rattlesnakes.
