Professors as Pitchmen

When students come to visit campus, they often request visits with professors and other academic individuals on campus. This article, originally published in The Chronicle of Higher Education, discusses the role of professors in the recruitment process.

Each spring, we hold admitted student receptions on select Thursday nights. These are open houses for admitted students where they can meet professors and other staff members from campus in an informal setting. The programs allow the students to see the personal and caring side of some of the leading academics on campus.
