Mrs. VOSS explained that alumnae admissions correspondents assist the professional staff of her office by visiting high schools on behalf of the college, consulting guidance counselors, serving as resource people on the local level in answering questions about applying to Skidmore. Her office arranges a workshop on campus every few years to acquaint these alumnae correspondents with latest developments at the college. The duties of the correspondents also include attending College Nights in high schools, interviewing prospective students, entertaining prospective and entering students and their parents, arranging schedules or visits and often, transportation, for admissions staff people when visiting in their areas, and in general acting as public relations representatives for Skidmore.
