Other Alumni Opportunities
Alumni Informational Interview Program
The alumni informational interview program, fostered in 2005 as a pilot program in Washington, D.C , continues to seek alumni volunteers across the country. The Office of Admission looks forward to further developing the program and is proud to have expanded into Philadelphia. By interviewing prospective students and applicants, you have the opportunity to share your Richmond experience, help these students gather more information during their college search, and in so doing increase the visibility of the University of Richmond in the Philadelphia area.
Alumni Recruitment Committee
In addition to the alumni informational interview program, the Office of Admission coordinates the Alumni Recruitment Committee (ARC). The University of Richmond relies upon the support of our dedicated alumni volunteers to interact with prospective undergraduate students. The ARC program, a body of more than 600 alumni volunteers, supports the efforts and initiatives of the Office of Admission.
Please contact Maria E. Cedeno, Senior Assistant Director of Admission in the Office of Admission, at mcedeno@richmond.edu or (804) 289-8640 if you would like further information regarding the alumni informational interviewing program or the Alumni Recruitment Committee.
