Good Afternoon,


On behalf of the Office of Undergraduate Admission we would like to reach out to your department for help in seeking highly qualified students to participate in our blogging program. New Paltz Bloggers will share their experience with the online community about their life here at New Paltz. Many write about the classes, clubs and organizations they're involved in and what they do during their down time. (You can see the current bloggers here,http://npbloggers.newpaltz.edu/)


We would love to have a few students from your department apply who would be interested in pursuing this project. Applications will be sent to recommended students shortly and interviews will take place soon after. We are looking for students who are unique, well rounded, actively involved, articulate, reliable and of course, who love New Paltz! If you or your faculty members have a few students you could recommend it would be greatly appreciated. Please provide their name and a brief reason why you are recommending them, as well as an e-mail address or phone number, so we may reach out to the student.


Thank you for your time and consideration.


Warm Regards,


Alicia Mejias
