Seeking volunteers to call admitted students
The Office of Admissions is continuing the search for volunteers to participate in the 2023 Bronco2Bronco Call Campaign, which is an outreach initiative to admitted students of color. Previously, there have been more than 45 volunteers from various departments and academic colleges throughout the University who, along with admissions staff, were able to complete over 1,500 phone calls within one week.
The goals of the Bronco2Bronco Call Campaign are:
- To encourage admitted students to move forward in their next steps to enrollment.
- To make students of color feel welcome.
- To let students know that the University community is ready and prepared to help them pursue their passions, thrive while here and be successful in their future careers.
We would like to invite individuals to join our outreach campaign again this year and, for those who are considering, please know that your involvement in this endeavor will make a great impact on our enrollment. We believe it takes our entire campus to make every student feel welcome and included. If you are interested in participating, please email Anthony Perez by March 17. The call campaign will be segmented by academic college, and calls will begin the week of March 20.
