Meet Your Campus Visits and Parent Services Director
Angie Cagle
Director of Campus Visits and Parent Services for DBU
As a DBU alumnus and a current parent of a DBU student, I deeply value the opportunity to walk alongside parents of prospective students throughout the admissions process. I truly enjoy partnering with families as they navigate the journey of making a DBU education a reality. From initial interest and campus visits to admissions, financial aid, and enrollment decisions, it is a joy to support both parents and students as they discern the best fit for their future. I believe the college decision is most successful when families feel informed, supported, and confident in each step of the process.
