Alumni Informational Interviewing Program:
The alumni informational interviewing 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 be expanding in Washington, D.C. 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 Washington, D.C. area.
Please contact Kristen Binette, Senior Assistant Director of Admission in the Office of Admission, at kbinette@richmond.edu or (804) 289-8640 if you would like further information regarding the alumni informational interviewing program.
