Subject: Volunteers Needed for OFE's "Adopt Your State" Admitted Student Outreach Program
Hi everyone,
It's time to start recruiting volunteers for our Adopt Your State program! Please forward to message below to your student ambassadors and any other students you feel would be a great fit for this outreach program:
The Office of Future Engineers manages a program we call "Adopt Your State," where we pair current Purdue Engineering students with admitted students from their home state to serve as a point of contact, resource, and possibly even mentor/friend on campus, and we are actively looking for volunteers to reach out to students admitted to First Year Engineering for Fall 2019! The program will run from February to early May.
The basic responsibilities/activities include:
- Chatting with admitted students from your home state or country via social media or text message (contact info will remain private from both parties)
- Sharing some of your experiences, insights, and survival tips to help them be better prepared for college life and determine if Purdue really is the place for them
- Attending 2 evening meetings, one near the beginning of the semester and one near the end, each roughly only one hour and both with free(!!) food
- Time commitment is minimal, maybe an hour per week
The only requirement to be a volunteer is that you are a current undergraduate student in the College of Engineering who is willing to be a friendly resource for admitted students! That's it!
We plan on having a one-hour training session (with free food!) sometime in late January or early February.
If you have participated in prior years, things will be a bit different again this year than years past. Details haven't been finalized yet, but we'll be using a simpler system this year. Exciting stuff!
If you'd like to sign up, just fill out this form and we'll be in touch sometime in January: https://goo.gl/forms/mL72PJ0nLvN2vdRx1 (Note: If you participated last year, please fill out his form again so I have your latest info)
Please feel free to reach out to me at aurie at purdue.edu<mailto:aurie at purdue.edu> with any questions!
Thanks,
Mr. I. Aurie Swartz
