Noah McKane

Hi! I’m Noah, and I’m originally from Pennsylvania but have spent much of my adult life living and working in the New York City metropolitan area. I currently call Jersey City home, which makes me especially excited to work with students throughout New Jersey, New York City, Long Island, the Lower Hudson Valley, and Fairfield County, Connecticut.

Before joining William & Mary, I worked in undergraduate admission at Wagner College, where I had the opportunity to work closely with students and families throughout the college search process. I also served as the Theatre Liaison for admission, which allowed me to combine my professional work in higher education with my own background in the performing arts. I earned my bachelor's degree in Theatre Performance and Design Technology Management from Wagner College, and my experiences as both a student and an admission professional have shaped how much I value finding the right college fit.

Outside of work, I love traveling, exploring new places, spending time outdoors, going to concerts and music festivals, and finding a good coffee shop or restaurant in a new city. I also have a lifelong love for the arts and am always excited to see a great show!

I found my way into admission because I genuinely love working with students during such an exciting and important time in their lives. Choosing where to go to college can feel overwhelming, but it can also be one of the most exciting opportunities for students to learn more about themselves and imagine what they want their future to look like.

One of my favorite parts of working in admission is getting to meet students from so many different backgrounds, hear their stories, and help them see the possibilities ahead of them. I believe that college admission should be about more than simply getting into a school—it should be about finding a community where you can grow, challenge yourself, discover new interests, and feel like you belong. I feel incredibly fortunate that my career allows me to be a small part of that journey for students and families.

From an early age, I was drawn to the incredible sense of community and the genuine pride people have in being part of this university. William & Mary has such a unique combination of history, academic excellence, tradition, curiosity, and community. It is a place where students are encouraged to challenge themselves while also being supported by the people around them.

William & Mary feels like a place where students truly care—about their academics, their communities, the people around them, and making the most of their college experience. There is an energy here that is difficult to describe until you experience it for yourself.

Joining the William & Mary community has been incredibly exciting for me because I believe so strongly in what this university offers its students. I am proud to represent William & Mary and to share my enthusiasm for this special place with students throughout my region. I can't wait to meet students, hear their stories, and help them discover whether William & Mary might be the place they can call home.
