Staff Spotlights: Jaron Carter '23

Meet Jaron Carter ’23, senior admissions counselor and assistant track and field coach at Bushnell University. Once a Bushnell student himself, Carter now serves students at pivotal moments in their college journeys, guiding them from first inquiry through graduation and beyond. His work sits at the intersection of admissions, athletics, and mentorship, where relationships remain at the center of everything he does.

In this video, Carter reflects on the relationships that first drew him to Bushnell, his transition from student-athlete to staff member, and his passion for walking alongside students during seasons of discernment. He shares what it means to support students who may feel uncertain or overwhelmed, and how both admissions and coaching provide meaningful opportunities to build community, foster confidence, and encourage personal growth.

Grounded in his own Bushnell experience, Carter believes college is a brief but pivotal season, one filled with opportunities to grow in wisdom, faith, and service to others. Whether he is meeting prospective students on the road, coaching on the track, or connecting with students on campus, his work reflects Bushnell’s commitment to holistic, Christ-centered education.
