We Need Your Help With Admissions
We are looking for men who are energetic and willing to help “spread the
word” about Hampden-Sydney. Your
assistance will enhance our recruiting efforts by helping to encourage students
to visit the campus and apply for admission.
Likewise, you now have an opportunity to ensure the continued success of
our personalized recruiting network, while helping to shape the future of the
College. This is arguably the most
meaningful way to give to your alma mater. Competition for our top students is fierce, making the
challenge before us a daunting one. However,
we are convinced that with the focused and concentrated support of our alumni,
Hampden-Sydney will continue to reach her goals and fulfill her mission to
produce Good Men and Good Citizens. We have included information on three
areas where you will be able to make the largest impact. Please read the
brief descriptions and let us know if you would be willing to contribute in as
many of the areas as possible.
Contact Prospective Students
Throughout the year we have many occasions where we need help contacting
prospective students. These calls can vary in purpose from attempting to
produce applications to yielding candidates who have already been
accepted. Because of this variety, calls are made and letters are written
throughout the year; therefore we are looking for individuals to help throughout
the entire year as well as those who have the ability to contribute more
selectively.

Have Prospective Students Contact You
We often have students ask about alumni in their areas. We are trying
to create a database that those students would be able to access so that they
could find and contact alumni close to them. This is an area that would
take little effort on your part and can be a major benefit to our office as well
as the College as a whole. If you would be willing to have students
contact you, please follow the like below to the online sign up form.

Receptions
The admissions office routinely hosts students and their parents at a variety
of locations to build interest in the College. These receptions can be
separated into two main categories: application generation and yield, and they
are held in select areas with high levels of interest for prospective students. These gatherings have
typically been held at the homes of alumni or area restaurants based on the size
of the crowd and the needs of the event. If you would be willing to
contribute to a reception in your area or if you would be willing to attend an
event at your home please let us know! The needs of your area may not
always make having a reception possible, but we hope that you will not hesitate
to let us know of your willingness to help.

College Fairs
Throughout the fall, members of the admissions staff visit High Schools
throughout the country during the day and spend their nights working a table at
a College Fair. Although we are able to make it to many of these events, we
are not able to cover all of the Fairs to which we are invited. Most
events allow an alumni representative in place of a member of the admissions
staff to represent Hampden-Sydney. Below you will find a link detailing what is
required to work a fair as well as another link allowing you to find fairs in
your area. We would greatly appreciate your help in making it to as many
of these valuable events as possible.
