We need your help

As always, Admissions will continue to direct our energy into enrolling the brightest and most diverse class. But we will need your assistance. Please consider volunteering to help us with any of the initiatives described below.

MBA Fairs and Forums
The SOM table will be one of many at MBA forums and fairs held across the US and around the world. Please join us in a city near you to share your enthusiasm for the Yale MBA program with prospective students. For a complete list of MBA forums, please visit our web site, http://mba.yale.edu/news_events/CMS/ad_events.asp

If you are interested in helping to staff any of these events, please contact Krista Giancarlo, Assistant Director of Admissions.

Alumni Interviews
We are working to ramp up our involvement of alumni/ae in conducting admissions interviews. If you are interested in volunteering to conduct admissions interviews in your city, please contact Michelle Vitali, Assistant Director of Admissions.

We hope to see an increased level of involvement from alumni/ae this year in all of our admissions endeavors in order to assemble the strongest possible Class of 2006. Please consider devoting even a small amount of time to this effort. We hope to see you "on the road!"
