We want to take this opportunity to thank you for collaborating with us each year for our Visitation Days Program(GPSVD) here at The Ohio State University. You recall in our previous correspondence, we have renamed this program the Graduate/Professional Student Recruitment Initiative (GPS). We know that the success of our efforts could not be realized without you and your faculty and administrative colleagues. It is important that our identification and communication process begin early for this year’s GPS Program scheduled for October 9 – 11, 2011. As in previous years, we are requesting your assistance in the identification process so that we can communicate immediately with your honor students regarding this unique opportunity.
Specifically, we are asking you to consult with your institution’s Honors Directors or the Registrar to obtain contact names, email, and information, including grade point averages, of the top 15 to 20 juniors who are expected to graduate by June 2012 (If your institution will only allow submitting names and e-mails, we will work with this information). Students with a GPA of 3.5 or higher are competitive for this New GPS program; however, applicants are encouraged to review admissions criteria for their prospective department. With so many on semesters and spring commencement upcoming, if you could forward your list of prospective GPS students no later than Friday, April 15, it would be extremely helpful. For your convenience I am attaching a Form for you to utilize when submitting your list (Junior Student List doc). Once we have received your list of honor juniors, we will make contact with those students to tell them more about Graduate and Professional School opportunities here at The Ohio State University and, specifically, about our Graduate/Professional Student Recruitment Initiative Program in the fall.
For your reference, I am also attaching the new GPS Brochure and Application. The brochure includes a list of the 115 plus Graduate/Professional, 92 Doctoral and 7 Professional Degree Programs offered here at Ohio State.
Again, thank you for all of your collaborative efforts each year related to our GPS program and Graduate/Professional School recruitment efforts in general. Please contact me immediately should you have questions regarding any of the above. We will look forward to receiving your list, hopefully by April 15. Your continued support during these changing times is especially appreciated.
Sincerely,
