After nearly three decades in the field, Jin has a clear sense of calling to this work. As a graduate student and later as a professional, he has experienced firsthand how Christian colleges and universities can shape lives, deepen faith, and prepare students to serve others. That experience continues to guide his approach today.

Jin’s commitment to guiding students is also shaped by his own story. Having immigrated to the United States with his family from Korea, he understands the challenges of adapting to a new culture and system. That experience has given him a particular sensitivity to students and families facing complex or unfamiliar circumstances, including first-generation and international students. It informs his approach and his desire to remove unnecessary barriers so students can move forward with clarity and confidence.

In his role at MNU, Jin will lead the teams that help students find their way to the university, understand their options, and navigate the path from first inquiry through enrollment. His focus is clear and relational: listening carefully to students, helping families make informed decisions, and ensuring the university uses its resources wisely so students can thrive once they arrive. He views this work as stewardship—caring for students, institutional trust, and financial resources in ways that serve everyone involved.
