Spring Call

This volunteer program provides an opportunity for parents of current students to reach out to parents of new students and welcome them to Wesleyan . Experienced parents provide a warm welcome and establish a connection to the Wesleyan community.

  • Experience: must be a parent of a Wesleyan student
  • Expertise: none; just a willingness to chat with new parents about whatever topics come up
  • Commitment: 1-2 hours, depending upon the depth of your conversations
  • Goal: to contact every new Wesleyan family
  • Timeframe: late January-August
  • How it works:
  • Assignments are made, based on geographic proximity when possible.
  • You receive a resource cheat sheet and contact information on 3-5 households, and make the outreach.
  • You return your contact sheet, with any appropriate comments.
  • Lots of new parents feel welcome.
