Jacob Hansen

Jacob Hansen is a former Admissions Officer and recruitment group director at Harvard College. He holds an AB in Government and a secondary in Economics from Harvard College.

While at Harvard, Jacob was responsible for evaluating applicants from all over the US, stretching from Alaska to Florida, as well as international students, and served as an admissions liaison for three athletic programs. He also served as the director of the Harvard College Connection, which focuses on rural and international student recruitment, as well as the director of the Harvard College Admissions tour program. In these roles, Jacob had the pleasure of working with dozens of undergraduate student workers, as well as interacting every day with prospective applicants and their families.

His favorite part of his work was (and is!) helping students feel less intimidated by the college application process and more confident in finding the right college fit for them.
