Back on the “Virtual” Road

The fall semester is traditionally a time when the Admissions Advisors in our office gear up and start heading out to areas all across the US to attend college fairs, visit your high schools and meet with prospective students one-on-one.  We gather up our new Auburn material to hand out, pack our travel bags and personal suitcases, get our rental cars and hit the road!

Obviously, 2020 has thrown a wrench into everyone’s lives.  The school year didn’t finish in the normal way we thought it would, summer trips may have been cancelled and this new school year has begun and it looks a little different too!  Over the past few months, one thing our admissions team has done well is to learn how to be flexible and adapt to this new way of life.  So, while our physical travel may be postponed until Spring 2021, we’re ready to hit the road virtually this Fall!

Our Admissions Advisors will be packing their virtual travel bags full with things like general information about Auburn and our undergraduate degree programs, to helpful information about the admissions and scholarship updates for the Fall 2021 application cycle.  They’ll be hosting virtual visits to high schools in their territories, attending virtual college fairs (both state sponsored fairs and national college fairs) and sitting on college panels, just to name a few!

So, make sure to search out these opportunities and connect with your Auburn Admissions Advisor this fall! We look forward to the day when we can meet you in person, but for the moment we’re excited to meet you on Zoom!
