You can participate in recruiting our next generation of students by sharing what made Knox special for you! To help recruit the next class, please join other local alumni to write hand-written notes to prospective students. This Fall Term, we would love for our new students to feel that they are a part of the Knox family from the very beginning. Sharing your personal experiences and successes can inspire and motivate new students who are getting ready to join us on campus this fall.

Come and stay for as long as you can! As you write your notes, enjoy the opportunity to mix and mingle with alumni and reminisce about Knox!

Your willingness to help recruit the next generation of Knox students will make a meaningful impact on the future! If you have any questions or would like more information please contact [email protected].
