(01/22/09) Help Contact Accepted Applicants

Dear Students:

Brrr... it's January and the snow and weather are clear reminders.
Just around the corner, though, will be spring and the time when
applicants to whom we have offered admission will make decisions about
whether to come to Eliot-Pearson.

I write to ask for your help in the admissions process. Each year we
need current students to help recruit applicants whom we have
accepted. If you volunteer to help, we will send you the names of one
or two students in a few weeks, and ask you to contact them. We will
provide some simple suggestions of what you might discuss with them.
Essentially we ask that you call the applicant(s) to congratulate them
on the offer of admission and to answer questions s/he may have and
share information about the Department, faculty and your experience
here so that s/he can make fully informed decisions.

We have a strong graduate student community here and your involvement
in these calls can convey that to applicants.
Please let Justina and Fred know if you are willing to make some of
these calls.

Thanks,

Ellen and Fred
