Admissions Note

Be an Alumni Ambassador

Dear Pardee RAND Alum,

It’s the most wonderful time of year... applications for Fall 2022 are arriving! As you know, we like to recruit YOU — our alumni — to interview our applicants and get them excited about our school, and also to elicit feedback from you about them. Would you like to help this year?

We match alumni to applicants depending on how many alumni volunteers we have, where applicants are located, and their background and interests. It is possible that not every alum will be matched to an applicant.

What’s involved: Once we match you with an applicant, you would need to arrange a date and time for a 30-45 minute talk by phone or video chat with the candidate. It can be fairly informal. We will provide you with suggested questions and guidance on sharing your feedback with us.

Number of interviewees: Approximately 2-3

Timeframe: January 12- February 1

If you are interested, please fill out this short form by Dec. 30. We will provide more details in early January, along with feedback guidance and instructions. If you have participated in the past and have ideas on ways we can improve this process, please let me know.

Thank you for making a difference. I hope you have a wonderful holiday season.

Best,
Stefanie
