The mission of the Arcadian program is two-fold: to utilize the personal stories and experiences of our student volunteers to help recruit new students while also developing student volunteer's communication and leadership skills. Participating as an Arcadian is a great resume builder!
Meet the experts, they'd love to hear from you. Contact a current student from around the globe with any questions you may have about life on campus or applying to Sewanee.
When you become an Arcadian, you are shaping future classes of Sewanee students. The Arcadian Program builds communication and leadership skills, as well as life-long friendships. Volunteers are able to choose their roles within the organization, and shape their commitment to the program.
Make sure that you are checking in for activities - we don't want you to forfeit points by not checking in.
Reach out if you have questions, follow us on Instagram, or join the Arcadian Facebook group!
We make every attempt to ensure that our current Arcadians have as much information as they need to be able to answer questions. Check back often as we update resources for you regularly.
The role of the Arcadian Mentor Program (AMP) is to ensure that new tour guides are given the highest level of support and training possible. All tour guide applicants are assigned an upperclassmen mentor, who they will work with through the hiring process and during their first full semester as a new tour guide.
We will offer summer training opportunities so stay tuned!
Sewanee has partnered with Render Experiences since 2008. Render has been helping colleges create campus visit experiences that strategically align with key enrollment targets sincer 2006. We've also been members of the Collegiate Information and Visitor Services Association (CIVSA) since 2008. CIVSA provides a wealth of information for both our staff and our student leaders.
Arcadians work together on specialized campaigns. During the summer of 2020, we will be focusing on not only staying in touch with new students for the fall but also connecting with rising seniors in high school.
Arcadian Leaders are the unsung hero's of the program! They work with tour guides and ambassadors to ensure that our tour groups are small and interactive and that the Admission office is appropriately staffed each day.
Do you wonder how the Arcadian Program runs behind the scenes? Our seven Co-Directors tackle big-picture, long-term projects like event management, recruitment and hiring, and program retention.
