Colleges That Change Lives - 2009 West Coast Tour
I needed to take a break from packing for next week's trip and blogging seemed like a productive way to spend my time. On Friday, I'm off to Seattle for the Colleges That Change Lives West Coast tour. This year, we will make repeat visits to Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Denver along with a new destination, Albuquerque. Click on the name of the city for date, time, and location of the event.
For any high school students considering Wabash College, these events are a wonderful opportunity to learn more about all that Wabash has to offer.
For Wabash alumni living in these areas, please spread the word to any students you think would be a good fit for Wabash. If the tour isn't coming to a city near you, there's still a way you can help. If you know of any young men (nephews, cousins, grandchildren, friends of colleagues or classmates) that do live near these cities, encourage them to attend. Any high school student will benefit from hearing the CTCL message and meeting with representatives from the member schools. It's much more than your typical college fair.
I'll represent the College at all 6 stops with Clint Gasaway joining me in California. I welcome any alumni volunteers interested in joining me at the table in the other cities. Just email me at timmonsc@wabash.edu if you're interested.
One final note, CTCL.org is expanding its marketing efforts and harnessing the power of social media. Facebook and Twitter (@CTCLColleges) pages have been created and I will be "tweeting" on behalf of CTCL during this tour. I'll tweet on my own Twitter page (@ChipTimmons) as well, so if you want to see more of what goes on at these events, "follow me" next week.
