Most institutions are invested in engaging their alumni and recruiting more students, but is there a way to accomplish these two goals at the same time? Utilizing alumni in the admissions process is one way to engage them while also enhancing the experience of prospective students as they work their way through the enrollment funnel.

Join us for this webcast to learn how the University of Pennsylvania designed and implemented an Alumni Interview Program to involve and leverage alumni in the admission process. You will hear how the infrastructure of the Penn Alumni Interview Program made applying to the institution more accessible to all by providing a venue for applicants to:

• Advocate for themselves
• Learn about student life from alum
• Contribute to the application process by providing a more holistic representation of variables that may not be captured in a standard application

The director of this program, Patrick Bredehoft, will tell the story of how they have scaled the initiative to reach 24,000 active volunteers and 40,000 interviews annually. You will leave this training with new ideas, inspiration, and more confidence to adapt this type initiative to your institution’s unique context.
