Program Overview

The Enrollment Ambassador program relies on alumni and parents of current Xavier students to assist the University's outreach efforts to high school seniors. Those contacted by ambassadors during our spring semester calling campaign are nearly twice as likely to attend Xavier as those who do not receive such personal attention.

Thanks to the success of the ambassador program, Xavier welcomed 1,037 freshmen this fall. The class of 2014 represents the University's second-largest incoming class of first-year students.

During the calling campaign that starts in February, Xavier's ambassadors provide prospective students the opportunity to learn about the positive experiences and values of the University. It's a powerful message that is especially meaningful when delivered by alumni and parents of Xavier students. We appreciate your interest in serving as a leader in this important recruitment program.

On-Campus Visits and Regional Receptions
