2009-2010 AdvoCats

Thursday, April 30th the Admissions Office hosted our first event with the 2009-2010 AdvoCats - An Ice Cream Social! The event was located in the basement of Johnstone Hall (Johnston Academic Center) and was a huge success. I think many of you got a chance to know some of the fellow AdvoCats through the fun games we played. First we awarded AdvoCat of the Year to Joe Dunn! Congratulations Joe for a job well done over the last two years as an AdvoCat. Joe will have the chance to travel with an Admissions Representative to help recruit at a busy college fair in the fall.

Another award handed out at the Ice Cream Social was AdvoCat of the Year Runner-Up. The runner-up is eligible to go on the recruiting trip *if the AdvoCat of the Year is unable to fulfill his or her duties. This year AdvoCat of the Year went to Kate Snapp! As a freshman this year, Kate has taken the lead on many projects with the Admissions Office and had been an outstanding tour guide, always very personable with the visiting families!

After all of the awards were given out, the fun began. We had over 40 of the 51 new AdvoCats attending this event, and we started off with introductions then moved to AdvoCat Speed Dating. "Speed Dating" was a great way to get to know a little more about your fellow AdvoCats and it looked like everyone had a pretty good time! Of course we ended the night with delicious ice cream and all the toppings one could hope for!

I am really looking forward to getting to know all of you next year!
