Coffee with a K Grad Goals

  • Develop personal relationships with students and

their families

  • Provide prospective students with an off-campus

connection to Kalamazoo College

students

determine admissibility to the College

Words of Wisdom

  • Buy the student a drink, even if they insist they

don’t need anything. (K will reimburse you)

  • Meetings should last between 45 and 60 minutes.
  • Meet with students one on one, but allow time for

parents to join the conversation if they come.

  • Be prepared to ask the students questions – they

will likely be nervous!

Words of Wisdom

  • Share your story!
  • Speak from experience, but try to remain objective

about the school.

  • It’s OK to say “I don’t know.”
  • Do not intimate that a student will be admitted even

if you think they are a good fit.
