Kelly Herrington, associate dean of admissions, will do
almost anything to recruit a student.
You have heard of ambulance chasers? How about an associate
admissions dean ambulance rider?
After taking 23 students from the Overlake
School in Redmond,
Wash., out to midnight
bowl at Boulevard Bowl, Herrington found himself accompanying one with a hurt
knee via ambulance to Ellis Hospital. A
participant in Ironman Triathlons, Herrington said, “I never thought of bowling
as an 'extreme sport' before, but everyone was great about it.”
The College is expecting a record number of admitted
students visiting this month. “Hopefully this will be the last to visit
Ellis,” said Dan Lundquist, vice president for
admissions.
Welcoming the
prospective frosh
With hundreds of accepted candidates and their families
visiting for “Accepted Students Days” on April 14 and April 21, Campus Safety
is directing employee vehicles to peripheral lots to make central lots
available to visiting students and their families.
The College this year accepted a record 42 percent of 4,146
applicants.
