Lydia Rowe
Director of Admissions, Tucson Center

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, atagonia, 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.
