[civsa] Shadowing current students

[Joel W. Mullner]

Greetings!



We are exploring the possibility of introducing shadowing opportunities,
when a prospective student visitor spends a few hours on campus with a
current student (attending a class or two, lunch, tour, etc.). We’ve done
this as a one-off type thing previously but haven’t formalized it nor
promoted it.



This would be something we’d offer on an almost daily basis, not just an
“event” held every so often like I know is the case at some institutions.
To clarify, this would NOT be an overnight program.



Do any of you have this type of visit experience in place available to your
prospective students? If so…

·         Do you limit it to just accepted students? Just seniors? Wide
open to anyone?

·         How do you match the students – by gender, hometown, academic
interest, extracurricular interest? Or is it done based on when a student
wants to visit compared to which current students are available on a given
day?

·         How many current students do you have to serve as a shadow
“host?” Are they already tour guides/ambassadors or a separate group of
students you’ve recruited for this purpose?

·         Who in your office coordinates such a program? Or is it
student-run?

·         What have you learned or what advice would you give to a school
just starting out a program like this? What difficulties have you
experienced?



Sorry for so many questions, but any insight would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
