Alumni Student Recruitment Program

You are Allen’s best ambassador.

Allen represents itself at college and high school fairs nationally and internationally, but the Office of Admissions can’t attend every recruitment opportunity. That’s why we rely heavily on alumni to represent the institution.

Share your story, connect a student with Admissions, and help bring the next generation of Yellow Jackets home to Harden Street.
