44 45 ALUMNI AND PARENTS ADMISSION PROGRAM
Become an Admissions Volunteer The Alumni and Parents Admission Program (APAP) is a group of dedicated Washington University alumni and parents who assist with the undergraduate admissions process in their communities.
APAP members help the University recruit, interview, enroll, and welcome talented students. Washington University parents are in a special position to communicate undergraduate student experiences, as well as what is to be gained from a WashU education. In addition, they help to personalize what might otherwise seem like a formal and form-laden process. Few people are better qualified to promote Washington University than parents of current students.
Parent members of APAP have an important perspective to share with prospective families as they consider Washington University. APAP parent members may host and attend receptions; staff college fairs; participate in Parent to Parent Calling, the Parents Resource List, and the International Resource List; and help to spread the word about WashU. APAP volunteers make a significant contribution to the University community while making connections with one another in cities all over the world.
