Alumni play a special role in the lives of students. An introductory call to answer questions about moving in, choosing a major or career, or becoming involved in campus activities would be welcomed by students and parents. After the student arrives, communication can take place through an occasional phone call to ask how things are going, a couple of letters or cards offering encouragement, perhaps an e-mail message, or a personal visit if you happen to be in town—and maybe even a bite to eat at a local restaurant!

Alumni can provide advice on careers and graduate school, leads for internships and summer jobs, and networking opportunities.  But the most valuable gift they have to give is the experience of having gone through similar experiences and being able to say, "I made it. So can you!"
