Alumni may write prospective and admitted students in their city or town to encourage the student to take the next step in the admissions process. This is a crucial informational exchange and one that is valued by the prospective student. Spring Hill College admissions counselors periodically request assistance by alumni at larger, heavily attended programs. This allows the Office of Admission to reach more prospective students and increases the College's visibility. Always show concern for the student's interest and show respect for their decisions.
Good students have a choice of many excellent schools.
We hope that through your efforts many of them will choose Spring Hill, but the final decision is theirs. Never pressure students in your conversations with them. Your contact with a student is that of a friend who is an advocate of Spring Hill College, and your goal is to keep them well-informed so that the student can make an intelligent decision that will have a deep impact in their life, that is, their choice of a college to attend. Never attempt to answer questions when you do not have the necessary information. Never speak negatively of other colleges or universities nor make comparisons between them.
