An Open Request from the Office of College Admissions to Alumni

A CALL FOR ADMISSIONS ALUMNI REPRESENTATIVES

I'm seeking young or youngish alumni who are interested in supporting the college by having occasional conversations, via email and sometimes then by phone, with prospective students. You'll only get called on a few times a year, if that often; but it is terrifically helpful to the Admissions Office to have alumni at the ready.

I try to match prospective students up with alumni in their geographic area, and am therefore especially seeking alumni in these currently under-represented states:

Alabama

Arizona

Arkansas

Colorado

Florida

Georgia

Hawaii

Idaho

Indiana

Kansas

Kentucky

Louisiana

Minnesota

Mississippi

Missouri

Montana

Nebraska

New Mexico

North Dakota

Oklahoma

South Carolina

South Dakota

Tennessee

Texas

Utah

Washington

Wyoming

But I can happily employ alumni from any geographic area, because when I get a request from a student living in an area I don't have covered well, or where the alumni representative has been overtaxed with requests, I set up long-distance conversations.

The Admissions Office does not expect alumni representatives to stay up on admissions procedures, financial aid minutiae, or anything having to do with a student's application status: we're just hoping you'll be willing to chat with students about your experience at the college, what's become of you since graduation, what you think about what we do, etc. In a positive way, one hopes!

Please email me if you're interested.

With thanks,

Roberta Gable
