Hello!  My name is JoEllen Lindner and serve as the Dean of Admissions. I review all admissions files, recruit international students and serve on the Scholarship Committee.  I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Journalism and a Certificate in Non-profit Organization Management. I am also completing my Master’s Degree in Organizational Leadership.  I have worked in broadcast journalism, admissions, fundraising and tourism marketing and have been at Presentation College for almost four years.

I work with a great group of people committed to a common goal-helping students fulfill their dreams of getting a college degree. I can’t think of a more rewarding and fun job! 

I am originally from Watertown, South Dakota, where many of my family members still live. My husband, Gene Friedrichsen, and I have been married 18 years. We have four children, two boys and two girls, ages 15, 13, 7 and 5. In my spare time, I enjoy playing piano, reading, cooking and spending time with friends.

You can contact me anytime at 1-800-437-6060 ext. 492 or at JoEllen.Lindner@presentation.edu
