Alumni Schools Committee

The Alumni Schools Committee (ASC) is a volunteer network of University alumni who assist the recruitment efforts of the Office of College Admissions. One of the greatest contributions an ASC volunteer can make is interviewing applicants who are unable to travel to Chicago for an on-campus interview. Volunteers are also sometimes asked to represent the University at college fairs, speak with prospective students at informal receptions, and attend information sessions and send-off events.

*For more information or to volunteer with the Alumni Schools Committee, please visit https://asc.uchicago.edu/.
