Back for Spring Semester 2005 will be John Emett, Skyline High School and Rusty Rueckert, Tooele High School.
“Nearly 60 people interviewed for the Ambassador Program this year” said Olsen, “Of those we could only choose 12. That is always the worst thing about the process: that we can’t take everyone.” “The Ambassadors added greatly to this year’s recruitment”, Olsen added.
“Their dedication to helping us on the Utah High School Tour by giving of their time to actually visit, in making phone calls as reminders, right down to the campus tours they give, added greatly to increasing our recruitment pool by 25 percent this year. These new freshmen have a big job ahead of them.”
