Spirits remain high with Kalamazoo College Admission representatives as they recruit first-year students for fall 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe had a strong class in 2020 and we’re hopeful we can have that again.” Admission Event Coordinator Sarah Matyczyn said. \u201cWe\u2019re happy with where we stand considering the effects of the pandemic.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This optimism is taking shape as a new normal arises in the admission process. In the wake of the pandemic, Admission is using more virtual ways to reach next year\u2019s first-year students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf there\u2019s a\u00a0silver lining to COVID-19, it\u2019s\u00a0that we on multiple occasions\u00a0have\u00a0talked about creating virtual options for international students and\u00a0west coast students because of the time difference,\u201d\u00a0Matyczyn\u00a0said. “We value in-person connections, but this really pushed us, and moving forward, this will help us.”<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
