March 2009 Phoenix
Since our first issue in the spring of 2007, we at The Phoenix have recognized just how important the Admissions Department is to our school’s well-being. In Admissions, we determine how our school is sold—and in Admissions, we determine which prospective students we ultimately “buy.” You will see the two sides of this coin represented in our two cover features.
During the tumultuous events of last semester, these issues bubbled to the surface again and again. Any effort to move past last year’s pain must involve taking a serious look at the way we recruit and the way we admit new students. In this issue, we attempt to do just that—and to give our advice for how to best move forward. First, Editor-in-Chief Austin Rovenstine discusses how the Admissions Department sells the college to prospective students. The other cover feature by Luke Blakeslee provides readers with a sneak peak into the workings of the department itself.
As always, we have a variety of other features as well, including a conservative commentary on the Gentleman’s Rule by Adam Brasich, and a truly touching tribute to the late Professor Bill Placher by Dr. Webb. Bob Cassady, Adam Current, Steve Henke, Michael Nossett, Kevin Stevens, and Zach Rohrbach round out another full and interesting issue. We hope you enjoy.
