By the hundreds, Randall fields questions from prospective students, sifts through applications, and welcomes the new arrivals – last month, 148 students from more than 18 countries for the new academic year. “The person who sits in the deanship of admissions is a Jack or Jill of all trades and must be master of many,” she says.
“At a time when universities are looking especially hard at the bottom line, we have to learn new ways of operating in order to reach the number one goal – to bring in a new set of qualified students each year. These are students who have the top academic qualifications and a commitment to a life of service to others and a deep desire to change the world.”

Born and raised in Kingston, Jamaica, Randall received an M.Div. degree herself from YDS in 2011, then a Master of Theology degree from Princeton Theological Seminary the next year. She then came back to YDS as a lecturer in homiletics. Soon after, the dean of admissions position opened up to her. She started on an interim basis in 2012 and was named dean earlier this year.
