Huntington University Names Carrie Meyer Director of Admissions

Meyer brings over 20 years of higher education leadership experience to her role at HU

HUNTINGTON, Ind. — Huntington University has announced the hiring of Carrie Meyer as its new director of admissions. Meyer brings more than two decades of higher education leadership experience in enrollment strategy, program development, digital learning innovation and mission-driven growth to the role.

Meyer joins Huntington University from Taylor University, where she most recently served as director of online learning. In that role, she led online enrollment strategy, dual enrollment growth and the development of new academic pathways designed to expand access for a diverse range of learners. She has extensive experience working collaboratively with admissions, marketing, academic affairs, registrar and senior leadership teams to strengthen recruitment pathways and the overall student experience.

“Carrie brings a rare combination of strategic enrollment expertise, systems-level thinking and deep commitment to Christ-centered higher education,” said Susie Carr, vice president of enrollment management and marketing. “Her experience developing scalable pathways, leading cross-functional teams and stewarding enrollment growth across multiple modalities will be a tremendous asset to Huntington University as we continue to serve students with excellence and purpose.”

Grounded in a Christian faith that shapes both her leadership and decision-making, Meyer approaches admissions as a mission-aligned responsibility — balancing data-informed strategy with discernment and a strong focus on access, belonging and student experience.

Meyer holds a Master of Business Administration degree from Taylor University and a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Southern Indiana. Meyer is a certified life coach and has completed advanced leadership development through Leadership Fort Wayne, Leadership Whitley County, the Council of Christian Colleges and Universities, the Online Learning Consortium and Gallup University.

In her new role, Meyer will lead Huntington University’s admissions strategy with a focus on building clear pathways to enrollment, aligning recruitment efforts with Huntington’s institutional mission and strengthening collaboration across campus to support long-term sustainability.

“I am honored to join Huntington University and to serve students as they consider their next right step,” Meyer said. “I’m excited to partner with the admissions team and campus leaders to strengthen recruitment efforts, clarify pathways to enrollment and ensure a student-centered experience that reflects the University’s mission and values. I am energized by the opportunity to serve students and families in a pivotal season of decision and transition.”

Meyer will begin her role as director of admissions on April 20.
