Volunteers are asked to conduct interviews, attend college fairs on behalf of Mount Holyoke, contact prospective students, sponsor or attend admission events, and sponsor book awards. Generally, volunteers are most busy in the fall, early winter, and during the month of April. AARs are often more involved than Assistants in the organization of a region and the recruitment of students. The Admission Office welcomes participation at any level, with volunteers giving as much or as little time as they have available. AARs receive monthly mailings from the Admission Office.
Assistants receive mail nine months of the year.
Contact the Office of Admission and request an Alumnae Admission Program Handbook. All students on the inquiry list are important to the College. We suggest focusing, however, on students with the source codes that are letters rather than numbers, since these students tend to have a stronger interest in the College. I have called or written everyone on my inquiry list, but have had few responses. Follow up with the student by sending a postcard or email to remind her of your contact information.
