The Ross BBA Admissions Team is here to support you during your application process to Ross. We hope you'll reach out to us with any questions you may have about our program or application.

Blaire Moody Rideout, PhD
Director of Undergraduate Admissions
My Role: I have full responsibility for the undergraduate admissions process at Michigan Ross, which includes leading the wonderful Ross Undergraduate Admissions Team! And while I direct the admissions process for all the three pathways to Ross, I do not make admission decisions by myself. We take a committee-based approach in reviewing your application. This approach ensures a holistic review with many reader perspectives to form a well-rounded and broadly diverse class.
My Advice for Prospective Students: Be honest and true to yourself. And if so, YOU will guide where to apply to college and ultimately where to attend.
What I Currently Listen To: My two boys and I love to listen to NPR's WOW in the World anytime of day. I mean who doesn't like Mindy and Guy Raz?!?

Kim Williams
Assistant Director of Transfer and Outreach Initiatives
My Role: I manage our diversity recruitment initiatives by building and maintaining relationships with prospective students and families from underrepresented populations and organizations that serve them. This includes managing our transfer admissions process, facilitating our fly-in programs, such as All-Access Weekend, and working with Michigan community colleges and other community-based organizations across the nation to develop strong pipelines of highly-motivated students.
My Advice for Prospective Students: Believe in yourself! Know that every student has a story to tell and has something unique about them!
What I Currently Listen To: The Michelle Obama Podcast!

Samantha Hurst
Admissions Event Coordinator
My Role: I coordinate all admissions events. From the information sessions you attend on Fridays to the welcome dinners in your hometown, I touch each and everyone of those to make sure you feel special.
My Advice for Prospective Students: Never give up on your goals, especially when it gets hard. Put in the work, be consistent, do your best and you can achieve anything!
What I Currently Listen To: I have been listening to a lot of early 2000's music recently. Who doesn't love some nostalgia?
