AAUM’s Minority Student Recruitment Initiative (MSRI)
• Started in 2007 in response to Prop 2– Statewide ban on race-and-gender based
affirmative action use in public institutions– Fear that U-M would appear unfriendly or
unwelcoming to minority applicants
• MSRI was created to fill the gap that Prop 2 could potentially create
• Designed to ensure that qualified admitted students were choosing to attend U-M

EORO Matching
• Occurs in the winter/spring • Matching is done after large groups of
admits are made so there is a full roster to work with
• When possible, matching is done by:1. Ethnicity
2. High school attended by alum & student
3. City alum & student live in
4. State7

Volunteer Expectations and Responsibilities
• Keep your contact information up-to-date– Especially your email address!
• Contact your students in a timely manner, within 5-7 days of receiving your “call to action”
• Understand that student contact information is self-reported and is the only information available

Alumni Recruitment Efforts
• Every contact you make is important and appreciated
• After September, you can “track” whether your students enrolled by checking the U-M on-line directory
• Since there are many reasons why a student may choose to go elsewhere, there is no “report card” created by the ASR program, nor are volunteers “graded”

Sundays after worship services

Contacting Students, cont.

student is unavailable

Things to keep in mind
• Share what you love about your U-M days.• You don’t have to know all the answers—
the key is knowing when/how to refer.• ALWAYS direct students to the Admissions
web site or to the call center– Allows students to review at their convenience– Allows for students to ask follow-up questions
• HAVE FUN! 18
