Alumni Student Recruitment

What is the ASR program?

The Alumni Student Recruitment (ASR) program is a partnership between alumni and the Office of Admissions to connect the 100+ alumni recruiters volunteering in over 25 states to high school students interested in Indiana University. As an ASR, you have the opportunity to give back to IU by sharing your experiences with prospective students, helping students on their IU journey and in finding and exploring what an IU education provides.

ASRs attend college fairs, reach out to admitted students, attend admission events, host student receptions, and more.

The Office of Admissions provides training and multiple ways to get involved so you can find the right level of engagement for you. If you have questions, feel free to contact us at iualumsr@iu.edu.

Ready to make a difference? Register to be an ASR!

"I fell in love with recruiting students to IU as a campus tour guide, then joined the ASR program after graduation to help students on their journey, in hopes that IU opens a world of possibility for them as it did for me."

One-on-one meetings

Alumni can offer to meet with students and families to talk about the IU experience. This is a good way to personally share your IU story. Normally, alumni who hold one-on-one meetings have also adopted the high school of the student(s) they are meeting with.
