Becoming an Ambassador is a great way to reconnect, a way for alumni and friend to help Dana. Many Ambassadors say they enjoy talking with students about choosing Dana College. Ambassadors Jim and Marti Simpson and Irene Maguire represent Dana at college fairs in Hawaii. They enjoy the opportunity to talk about Dana and their volunteer service provides visibility for Dana without incurring great expense. A look at enrollment statistics by state assures us that Irene, Marti and Jim have been successful.
Ambassadors work in two major ways.
Sometimes the Dana admissions office supplies names of prospective students and the Ambassador calls or writes them. Rector have done this and follow up by sending the information back to Dana. Another major way for an Ambassador to work for Dana is to gather information on possible prospective students. Ambassadors make referrals from students they have met in community and church settings. Johnson recently contacted all 80 high school students at her church to be sure they heard about Dana.
