Jeff Birdsell

Jeff BirdsellAssistant Director of Undergraduate Admissions


Where you were born?


If you don't know where Chula Vista is, go to the border and turn around. Now wave to my parents.

What did you study in college?


Management and Organizational Communication

What were your favorite involvements in college?


School Mascot (still cannot do a cartwheel)
Concert Choir (yes, I did high school show choir)
Kappa Phi Kappa (and yes, I still have the green blazer)

What's a word or phrase that describes you?


"Calculated risks and planned spontaneity."

What's your favorite San Diego past time?


Padres games!

What advice would you give to an incoming PLNU student?


Don't drop classes and find balance. There are times when you are enjoying the community life when you should be studying, and there are times when you are studying when you should be in the gym, rec room, or chapel.

If you could be any animal, what would you be and why?


A zebra. I like that they look cool, and they're the only animals at the Wild Animal Park that can't be kept in the continental preserve. Lions... yep, Zebras... nope.
