Regional Alumni Advocates The Alumni Association, in collaboration with the Office of Undergraduate Admissions, is developing the Regional Alumni Advocates Volunteer Program. The purpose is to engage alumni in the process of recruiting new undergraduates to the university. The goals of the program are twofold: As an alumni advocate your primary responsibility would be to attend college recruiting fairs in your area as identified by Undergraduate Admissions, host dean and faculty when traveling to your area, assist graduated with simple tips on relocating to your region, and identify other alumni who would like to become involved with the school. The expected time commitment for the key contact of this program would be no more than 40 hours per academic year, depending upon how many volunteers you can recruit to join the effort. Comprehensive training is critical for an effective volunteer program and all alumni advocates will be required to participate in a training program. Training will be offered in the following ways: -
On-campus: Training sessions will be offered at ASU twice each year: at Homecoming and during the alumni association’s presidents’ conference. Each session, presented by the undergraduate admissions office, would last ninety minutes. -
Off-campus: Training sessions will be offered in conjunction with alumni chapter meetings or events. Training in 2003-04 would take place in Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York. -
Phone: Thirty minute individual training sessions by phone will be offered regularly when other training opportunities are not available. -
Handbook: Each alumni advocate will receive a recruiting handbook, updated annually, and including alumni advocate program description, volunteer duties, activities guidelines, pertinent ASU information, frequently asked questions, and NACAC guidelines. If you are interested in volunteering as a Regional Alumni Advocate please send e-mail name, address, and email address to michael.matos@asu.edu
