I love questions! About Providence College in general, about the admission review process, about what it's like to be an admission counselor... Your questions keep this blog lively, fun, and exciting! So, I'd like to take this opportunity to encourage you to send me any questions you might have over the next week or so... THEN, on Monday January 22nd, I will be posting a very special "mailbag blog," consisting solely of your questions (and hopefully some worthwhile answers to them!!!). You may have seen mailbags used by other web writers and bloggers, and they really help the writer to stay in touch with what his readers want to talk about. Don't be shy... send your questions along and check back on the 22nd for the answers!!!

I know may of you are very interested in what admission counselors do day-to-day, and while I have talked (a lot) about how we review applications and a little bit about the time we spend "on the road" traveling, I haven't writtten much about all of the other things we do "behind-the-scenes" in the Office of Admission. From creating all of the viewbooks and publications you receive in the mail to programming numerous events on campus to conducting research on admission trends to working with the athletic teams to coordinating our alumni associates who travel for us as well, we spend a great deal of time doing things other than traveling and reading applications. And since the idea of this blog is to give you a first-hand look inside our office, we need to take a look at some of the other things the admission staff does... all of that and more to come next week!!

Have a great weekend! And don't forget to send along your questions and check back next Monday, January 22nd!
