Simply put, our alumni have a tremendous impact on our efforts in admissions.

For the 2004-05 year, Wabash again received over 1000 alumni referrals. 557 of those students referred were seniors and 62% of those seniors applied for admission. An astounding 40% of this year's freshman class were referred by an alumnus. Wabash men are also referring great young men. 46% of the 2005 Lilly Award finalists were referred as were 54% of the Honor Scholarship winners. These numbers confirm that Wabash alumni do a terrific job locating fine young men.

How can you become involved?

• Refer a student online
• Attend a college fair in your area
• Host or attend a recruiting function
• Call students in your area, or those with similar career interests.
• Contact Chip Timmons, Associate Director of Admissions (765.361.6054, or email timmonsc@wabash.edu) 

Alumni efforts in admissions go beyond referring. Hundreds of alumni speak to prospective students interested in pursuing careers similar to theirs. This year Wabash men represented the College at forty-two college fairs nationwide; we even had an alumnus attend a fair in Juneau Alaska--better yet a student he spoke with there has deposited for the Fall! Many Wabash alumni hosted or attended recruiting functions throughout the country where they play a key role in selling the college to both prospective students and parents. Wabash Admissions Volunteers are proud of their school and their recruiting efforts are testament to that.
