Students Work for M.O.R.E. Diveristy

If you didn't know, the population of students on-campus increases each year. A part of that is a genuine love for Indiana Univeristy. Another factor is the work of a small few. The Office of Admissions recruits students to become a part of Ambassador groups to represent IU and assist with recruitment. One of theses groups, which I have been a member since my freshman year, is Multicultural Outreach Recruitment Educators (M.O.R.E.). Targeting students of color, M.O.R.E. orchestrates several events and programs throughout the year in efforts to increase diversity on IU's campus. One of their major efforts takes place at their monthly meetings.

Every first Wednesday of the month, M.O.R.E. meets in the Admissions Office to discuss upcoming events and previous programs. Students' help is completely voluntary, which makes it better because they want to improve the campus. After a brief meeting, the real work begins. Each meeting is capped off with a call-a-thon. Students make calls to prospective Hooisers in order to answer an questions they may have about the admissions process, or campus life itself. Some conversations can be short, while others last for 15 minutes at a time.
