On Saturday, February 6, nearly 75 prospective students (the
second largest VWC Day in five years) and their families visited the Virginia
Wesleyan campus for our VWC Day Open House, making it the largest turnout so
far in the current recruitment cycle. I would like to thank faculty, staff and
student ambassadors for their hard work in making this VWC Day a success.
For our enrollment counselors in particular, Saturday was an
exciting opportunity to meet the students with whom they have been building
relationships over the last several months. Since the fall, our counselors have
been engaged in an extensive, unprecedented outreach program via phone and text
messaging. They have been sharing information about the quality and breadth of
our academic programs and co-curricular opportunities as well as the many
successes of our graduates.
Their dedication in this endeavor was evidenced in the
many productive conversations and positive interactions that took place
throughout the day. Their work will continue to be a critical part of our
recruitment efforts as we build toward welcoming the Class of 2020.
