Email Address and the AAR Directory

You may have previously directed Carleton not to share your email address with broader public-facing directories which Carleton might create. We respect your decision, but want you to know it eliminates the AAR program's ability to communicate with you easily via email, a side effect you may not have intended. Please indicate below your level of permission for email contact:

Email Address:

Can we use this email address to contact you with AAR-related information and opportunities ONLY?

Yes. Please. The more Carleton in my inbox, the better!

Yes, but only for AAR-matters, please.

No. I intend to opt out of email-based communication with the college and AAR program is no exception.

Email is our primary mode of communication. By opting out of receiving communication via email, you are opting out of volunteering for the AAR Program.

Mobile Phone Number

Our preferred method of conveying program activity and information is via email. However, in the event we are not able to connect via email we'd like to text you.

Yes

No

Commitment

Yes, I would like to volunteer for the AAR Program.

No, I am unable to volunteer at this time but contact me next January to join for next admissions cycle.

Commitment: Addendum

In the interest of fairly and transparently working with prospective students, the AAR board is moving to eliminate any potential conflicts of interest.

Do you have a child intending to enroll in a four-year undergraduate institution at some point during the 2022-2023 school year?

Yes

No

Unfortunately, if you have a child in the current application pipeline for four-year colleges, you'll be unable to do AAR work with that same graduating cohort so that we can avoid any conflicts of interest that may arise.

Worry not: there are plenty of opportunities for you to work with any other cohort, and we'll keep you in the loop at the right time. But we'll exempt you from activities that would put you in direct contact with students in your child's own cohort.

Choose how you'd like to be involved this cycle

One of the best parts of the AAR program is that you can determine the size and scope of your volunteer outreach. Via the AAR Portal, you can always claim students to contact. It is the baseline platform for all AAR work, so contacting is part of your portfolio!

However, we would like for you to let us know if you'd like to be involved in the other key activities.

Gatherings and events (e.g. community events, summer send-offs, and gatherings at local venues like coffee shops) are held in many areas throughout the year. Visiting with alumni, parents, and current students (when possible) can help prospective students get a sense of the Carleton community. The warmth and camaraderie of those events can enhance the recruitment and enrollment of each freshman class.

Yes, I would organize and host as well as participate as a resource to students and parents.

Yes, I would like to participate as a resource to students and parents, only.

No, I am unable to participate in the 'gatherings' activity at this time...

College fairs are a fun way to meet several students in a concentrated period. When representing Carleton at a fair, your role is to share your enthusiasm for the College and the reasons you appreciated your time there.

Yes, I would attend as a resource to students and parents.

No, I am unable to participate in the 'college fairs' activity at this time...

Although interviews are not required, they are highly recommended. Because of the greater number of applications the College has received in recent years, admissions decisions have become increasingly more competitive. The interview report offers valuable, in-depth information about a prospective student that can enhance his or her application and can help the Admissions Committee reach a more informed decision. Interviews can be held in person or remotely (via Skype, Google Hangout, phone, etc.).

Yes, I am available to interview prospectives in my geographic area or (virtually) further afield.

No, I am unable to participate in the 'interviewing' activity at this time...

And, I can... (optional, check all that apply)

provide interviews via Zoom, Skype, FaceTime, Google... or by good ol' telephone.

organize and host an 'Interview Day' in my area or participate in a regional one online (when it becomes possible).

provide a venue for an 'Interview Day' in my area (when it becomes possible).
