C.A.R.E Program

The County Alumni Recruitment and Engagement (C.A.R.E.) Program is a combined effort between the Admissions and Alumni Relations Offices to utilize some of the best recruiters Alderson-Broaddus College has – its Alumni.  Who better to talk about the school than someone who has experienced it personally?  Volunteers make a world of difference for the College.  We hope that this program will grow and become instrumental in the recruitment efforts of A-B College.  Your partnership is so valuable to us and will be increasingly valuable to the students you are able to lead to the College.  If you are interested in serving as a C.A.R.E. Volunteer, please call the Office of Alumni Relations at 304.457.6202, or e-mail us at alumni@ab.edu

Purpose and Objectives:

• Increase knowledge and awareness of Alderson-Broaddus College to prospective students and their families.
• Provide a personal contact for prospective students.
• Cultivate positive relationships by alumni sharing their A-B College and life experiences with students.
• Serve as a connection between Alderson-Broaddus College and communities across our primary recruiting territories

Ways to Recruit and Engage:

1. Send communication to prospective students using various mediums (phone call, text messaging, e-mail, or hand written note) to help strengthen a student’s decision to attend Alderson-Broaddus College.
2. Host a regional A-B College event in your community inviting prospective students, parents, church youth groups, A-B alumni, etc. 
3. Attend an on campus Visitation Day and talk to students about the College and your experience as an A-B student.
