The College's busy April "yield" season is just around the corner. That means the Office of Admissions needs faculty and staff help in welcoming admitted students and families throughout the month.

The two largest programs are the Accepted Candidates Days on Monday, April 9, and Monday, April 16, with a noon luncheon in Memorial Fieldhouse and division receptions 12:30-1 p.m. Contact Lilia Tiemann at tiemannl@union.edu to sign up.

Tiemann is also asking faculty to give admitted students the opportunity to visit classes on those Mondays and at other times, as well. 

"If you are willing to open your classes to admitted students on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday during April, please let me know. There won't be many visitors on these days, as most students attend on the two Mondays, but we do get some stopping by. Students truly enjoy sitting in on classes, and in many cases it is their deciding factor."

Approximately 560 students will be admitted into the Class of 2011, from a pool of more than 4,800 applications, the highest total ever, for this fall's freshman class.
