Supporting Admissions Activities

Fuqua's admissions department needs your help!  Many of our best students have been referred or recommended by alumni, and many undecided prospects or applicants have chosen Fuqua based on positive interactions with Fuqua representatives. Learn more about becoming an admissions volunteer and help the school by: 

• refering a prospective student for Fuqua's MBA or executive education programs,
• attending a recruiting event,
• recommending an applicant,
• connecting with prospective students via phone or email,
• interviewing applicants in your area, and
• calling admitted students.

If you are a current admissions volunteer, sign in to view admissions materials.

Advisory

Alumni serve as advisors to Fuqua as part of our Alumni Council, Minority Alumni Advisory Board, our Board of Visitors and our research center boards. Examples include the Health Sector Advisory Council, the Center for the Advancement of Social Entrepreneurship Advisory Board and the Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation Board of Advisors. For more information on serving on a research center board, please contact Erin Gasch, Director of Alumni Relations.

Communication

Some of the strongest components of Fuqua's alumni volunteer network are Class Communication Chairs. Class Communication Chairs gather information about their classmates and share it with the school, providing rich content for alumni publications. They also share important updates with their classmates. Learn more about this important program. If you are already a Class Communication Chair, learn more about deadlines, view samples, and upload photos here.

Daytime MBA students also support Fuqua's alumni communication goals by spreading the word about the richness of the alumni network to their peers and hosting events for alumni in the cities where they have summer internships. Learn more about Fuqua's Alumni Fellows.

Fundraising

Peer encouragement is an important component of Fuqua's fundraising strategy. Through serving as class annual fund chairs who keep their classmates engaged between reunions or by volunteering on a reunion committee, alumni ensure that their classmates continue to support the annual fund. Learn more about becoming an Annual Fund Chair.
