Why We Reach Out
We reach out to prospective students and their families, counselors, and educators to help them navigate the college search and application process and determine if a student can envision themselves as part of our community. Our communications connect prospective students with opportunities to learn about Hopkins and get tips on crafting their strongest applications. For families, educators, and counselors, we send resources to help support their students as they plan for college. Ultimately, these communications are intended to provide information to prospective students and their support systems so they can make decisions that are right for the student and their family.
How we learn about prospective students
We organize events and create resources that inform prospective students, families, counselors, and educators about our academics, student life, financial aid, and admissions process. We collect information about these audiences through mailing list and event signup forms on our website. We also partner with test providers, college search websites, associations, and counseling organizations to receive student and counselor data.
How we personalize our outreach to prospective students
The more we know about a prospective student’s interests and background, the better we can customize our messages and offerings to their preferences. Our mailing list and event signup forms ask about a student’s identity, academic interests, college plans, and individual and family contact information. These details allow us to invite prospective students and their families to events in their area and share content that is relevant to their interests.
