The board also instituted the Student Ambassadors Program this year, an effort to involve current students in small group discussions with prospective students and parents who visit the campus. In addition to these joint projects with the Office of Admissions, the SAB takes full responsibility for postcard writing campaigns and a phonathon. Volunteers write postcards to high school seniors in the fall and to juniors in the spring. Phonathon volunteers attempt to call every accepted student in April. The board also sponsors information sessions and provides publications to students returning to their high schools to promote the College.
Board members enjoy their work and are committed to student recruitment.
It is my way of giving back to the community by sharing the great things about Mount Holyoke with prospective students. Ross encourages interested students to get involved in the recruitment process and next year's Student Admissions Board. We are always looking to involve current students in our projects.
