MOUNT PLEASANT, MI The Central Michigan University College of Medicine added two staff members to admissions as student enrollment is underway.

Chris Austin is director of admissions and Jennifer Paulke is assistant director of admissions. They started earlier this month.

Austin, a CMU graduate, has worked at CMU since 1997 in admissions and alumni relations. His new job duties include recruiting students, managing the medical school admissions office and marketing.

Paulke, a Michigan native, comes from Florida Gulf Universitys College of Medicine where she was assistant director of admissions. At CMU, she will be responsible for recruitment and community involvement with schools in Michigan.

As assistant director of admissions, Paulke will be responsible for recruitment and community involvement particularly with the universities, colleges and school systems in Michigan. She will work with the director and the admissions staff in all aspects of medical student admissions.

CMU's medical school will open in 2013 with its first class of 60 students. The students will spend two years at the Mount Pleasant campus before beginning clinical training in Saginaw in Covenant HealthCare and St. Mary's of Michigan through CMU Healthcare, formerly Synergy Medical Education Alliance.
