Alumni Admissions Volunteers

There are a variety of ways alumni interested in volunteering with the Office of Admissions can help. Alumni volunteers are essential to the recruitment process and all efforts are appreciated! Your efforts allow UIndy to make a lasting impression on students considering enrolling at UIndy.

Here are some other simple ways to help bring prospective students to your alma mater:

• Recommend a Student: Recommend a student whom you believe would be a good fit for UIndy and UIndy would be a good fit for him/her.
• Alumni Caller: Volunteer by contacting and congratulating students who have been admitted to UIndy.

Target cities in need of volunteers (training provided) are Chicago, Louisville, Cincinnati, Milwaukee, St. Louis, Grand Rapids (MI), and Nashville (TN). To help, find out which admissions counselor is responsible for your region and send him/her an email detailing your availability. Admissions counselor search.
• Two for Two Business Cards: We proud of our alumni and what they have accomplished and love bragging about UIndy alumni to prospective students. Providing the Office of Admissions with two current business cards allows us to showcase your accomplishments in our business card display, located in our Esch Hall lobby.
