My name is Enrique Rangel-Rodriguez, and I proudly serve as the Assistant Director of LatinX Recruitment here at Old Dominion University. I have the privilege of assisting Hispanic and Latino families in their pursuit of higher education. As a first-generation high school and college graduate myself, I understand the challenges faced by individuals from Latino and firstgeneration backgrounds.

In my role, I am passionate about supporting prospective students and families through the application process, bridging language barriers by translating admissions materials, conducting bilingual information sessions and tours and visiting schools and community organizations.

At Old Dominion University, we believe that education knows no boundaries, and we are committed to fostering an environment where all students can thrive. Contact me directly or utilize this link to catch me on the road in a city near you. I look forward to meeting you and supporting you through your Monarch journey!
