[civsa] Suggestions for Shadow Visits

[Robbio, Kristin K.]

Hi Quianna,

We have 2-3 student coordinators who help us plan our "shadow" program-here, we call it "Caltech In A Day." The student coordinators work with our "CIAD" coordinator to plan itineraries for the students, helping them find classes to attend and so on. Each admitted student that visits has a student host that they shadow over the course of the day, who is an employee of our office.

Admitted students sign up through our visit calendar (we use Slate), and we cap each day "Caltech In A Day" visit to 5 students or less (depending on the time of year)-no families allowed! Each "Caltech In A Day" happens M/W/F during yield season (Feb-April), and students have until 2 weeks before the event to sign up, which gives us time to plan their itinerary!

If you have more questions, feel free to reach out to me directly and I'll put you in contact with the person in my office who runs the program.

Subject: [civsa] Suggestions for Shadow Visits

Hello Everyone,

We are looking to fully launch a Shadow Visit Program at UNC this upcoming year.
Previously we set this up so only high academic achieving admitted students could participate in the shadow visit program.
Now we are looking to open it up onto our general visit page to any admitted student into the university.
These visits were different than our typically daily tours, or event days because they involved become a bear for a day.
The admitted student would go to class, eat lunch, and explore campus with a current student.
Would you all mind sharing some tips and tricks onto how you perform your Shadow Visits so we can tweak ours the give the students the best experience?

Thank you,
