Over the next few months, Scripps College admission officers will begin traveling across the country visiting high schools, attending college fairs, hosting receptions and offering off-campus interviews. Each fall, we look forward to meeting with prospective students and their families. These visits provide us with the opportunity to answer questions about the College, our admission process, and meet with prospective students in their hometowns.
We notify all students on our mailing list if we plan to visit their high school or host an event in their area. If you haven’t already done so, you can sign up for our mailing list by clicking in the Request Info tab on the admission homepage.
If you see us at a college fair or at your high school, please don’t hesitate to introduce yourself. We enjoy meeting with prospective students and hearing about the many reasons why they are considering Scripps.
By visiting with students and exploring the various schools, we get a better sense of where our applicants come from and the communities they are a part of. Since we are away from home, we also enjoy getting recommendations for great places to eat and sights to see. We have learned about some of our favorite restaurants and shops from prospective students.
Although we can’t bring the Campus with us on our travels, there is one resident that sometimes joins us on the road. If you have ever visited Scripps, you might have seen them… the rabbits and squirrels that call Scripps home. Our campus is home to many different animals, but there is only one that is an official member of the Admission team. Meet Susie Squirrel: a jet-setting critter who loves to share her Scripps pride. Susie often accompanies us when we are on the road. If you are curious to see all the different places Susie will be traveling to this fall, check out our Flickr account. We will be positing photos of her periodically.
Good luck with the start of school year and we hope to see you in your hometown soon.
Maricela, Associate Director
