Ambassadors ease KU visitors' worries
By Bryan Swan Kansan staff writer
Although the University might be friendly and familiar to those who know it, to out-of-town visitors or officials it could seem confusing or frightening.
That is where the KU student ambassador program comes in.
"Mostly the program is to acquaint students with University life and the resources available to them and to answer questions about college life," said Milton Scott, associate director of admissions.
The program offers four types of services.
KU ambassadors visit their hometown high schools and answer questions from students about the differences between high school and the University of Kansas.
A hometown host assists new KU students who are from the host's hometown or area.
Campus tour guides give walking tours of the campus to new students and their parents.
Departmental tour guides are more specific, showing students the academic departments that concern their majors.
"Ambassadors go back to their hometown high school, answer questions and talk about their experiences," said Scotty Smith, Pittsburgh sophomore. "Usually they are asked about how students get around on campus, can freshmen have cars and do they have to live in the dorms."
Smith said that around the Kansas and Missouri area, there was a fear of attending the University because of its large student population.
"We try to explain about the stu-
went to faculty ratio — that it is only 15 or 16 toone and — try to clarify those issues," he said. "It's not a complete hyped sales pitch. We tell them about the larger classes, like 400 people in a psych lecture class, but we also tell them that most English 101 classes have only 23 or 24 people."
Melissa Stern, Omaha, Neb., junior, said the hometown host helped students adjust to the University once they arrived.
"We talk with people about how they are adjusting to KU. Usually it is someone from the same state or area of the host," she said.
Julia Eklund, Kansas City, Kan. senior, said that because campus tour guides might be the first contact an outsider made with the University, the ambassador selection process was thorough.
“五 people are placed in the same room and asked questions by three interviewers,” Ekland said. “Appearance, poise, knowledge or a willingness to learn, ease in speaking, the attitude towards KU and their availability are considered.”
Scott said that Audrey Curtis, Hays junior, was in charge of departmental tour guides. He said that because the academic departments had their own tours, Curtis' job would be to manage them. The departmental guides will meet with people from their assigned majors twice a month.
Applications for KU ambassadors and hometown hosts will be taken in the Office of Admissions until Sept. 15. No deadline had been set on applications for departmental tour guides. The deadline for applications for campus tour guides was Sept. 8.
Program created to bring students to Hill
By Angela Baughman Kansan staff writer
Enricting prospective students to the Hill is a job KU alumni soon will be taking on as part of a new recruiting program.
The University of Kansas Alumni Association has joined forces with the department of educational services to finance the program, which will recruit students for the University of Kansas. The educational serv
ices department will handle student admission recommendations along with the Office of Admissions.
Mike Davis, Alumni Association coordinator of membership development, said alumni would play an important part in the new program by being accessible to students and describing their experiences at KU.
"There are a lot of high quality students in the state of Kansas," he said. "A lot of times these kids will look at places in the East — Harvard,
Yale — and they'll look at Stanford. They work with the alumni in the towns that they live in and find out what a great place KU is."
The Office of Admissions hired Rich Morrell as assistant director of admissions Aug. 28 to coordinate the program.
everything really is pretty much in the planning stages right now". Morrell said. "We haven't quite put all the players together to see exactly
what the emphasis will be. What form it takes remains to be seen."
Davis said alumni had two meetings with area high school students in Topeka and Wichita in July as a trial run of the types of meetings the program would sponsor. Students going on a trip to Israel, a Merit ment semifinalists, scored at least 30 on the ACT, were PSAT commended scholars or were minority students with scholarship potential were invited to attend.
