| Student Recruitment |
|
|
Help UCR recruit the best and brightest students for the class of 2010! We need alumni volunteers at the upcoming student recruitment events held throughout California. Alumni serve as ambassadors for the campus sharing their positive experiences and memories of UCR.
The main role of the alumni is to talk with prospective students and their parents about the alum's experience at UCR, reasons for choosing UCR and what their education has done for them. The interaction with alumni, along with UCR parents and current students, at these events has proven key in UCR’s recruiting efforts.
