Alumni recruitment visits to high schools are essential for building connections with prospective students. Types of visits include lunchroom, hall, guidance counselor, and classroom visits. To set up a visit, contact the school's guidance department to explore options and schedule a suitable date and time. During the visit, be prepared for conversations with students and counselors, distribute materials like viewbooks and inquiry cards, and encourage applications. Afterward, follow up with an evaluation sheet and thank-you notes to maintain relationships and improve future engagement.
