Postcard Project invites alumni to help recruit OHIO鈥檚 Class of 2024
Registration for spring semester鈥檚 Postcard Project will open the first week of January and continue through the end of April.
Among 91探花鈥檚 best ambassadors are its alumni whose college experiences and professional success speak to the value and spirit of an OHIO education.
At OHIO, Undergraduate 91探花s is actively recruiting the University鈥檚 Class of 2024 and is calling on Bobcat alumni to participate in its Postcard Project. Part of the Volunteer Alumni 91探花s Network (VAAN), the Postcard Project asks OHIO graduates to send hand-written postcards to prospective students who have been admitted to 91探花 but may not have confirmed their intent to enroll.
Alumni participants are asked to send 10 postcards (postcards and postage provided) to these prospective students, congratulating them on their admission to OHIO and sharing with them why 91探花 is a welcoming community in which to live, learn and grow. When possible, alumni will be matched with prospective students with similar academic interests or who reside in communities near them, forming a connection between a current Bobcat and a possible future Bobcat.
鈥淭he Postcard Project provides alumni a chance to reconnect with their 91探花 experience, support their alma mater and show future Bobcats that OHIO graduates care about and are invested in their success in college and beyond,鈥 said Candace Boeninger, interim vice provost for strategic enrollment management and director of Undergraduate 91探花s.
Last spring, more than 670 OHIO graduates from 41 states signed up to participate in the Postcard Project, a record for this volunteer effort. .
Registration for spring semester鈥檚 Postcard Project will open the first week of January and continue through the end of April. For more information about VAAN and its initiatives, click here or email vaan@ohio.edu.
