Faculty Participation in the Early Calling Campaign for 2013 Admitted Students

Dear Colleagues:

The Fall 2013 Admitted Student Early Calling Campaign starts today. By participating in this important yield event, you will be the first to contact targeted freshman applicants, informing them of their admission to UC San Diego. During the past five years of this outreach campaign, personal contact has made a demonstrable impact on our yield results. Faculty participation in this endeavor is an essential element of the campaign's success.

The online calling tool is now live. Please follow the link https://calling.ucsd.edu/c/early and enter your UC San Diego username and password to get started.

We ask that you call 20 students over the duration of this week: March 4-10. Please keep in mind the time zone in which the student is located when placing your call.

The online tool will assist you with placing and logging calls to the admitted students within the criteria you specify, such as major, college, ethnicity, or home location. Student names and phone numbers will display on the screen and you will be prompted to record the outcome of the call.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact Kati Dickson (x.60269, kdickson@ucsd.edu) or AVC Mae Brown's assistant (x.43156). We are very appreciative of your participation in this critical yield activity.
