How did you find out you’d been accepted to college? A thick, shiny packet(包)in the mail? Maybe an email?
Nolan Brown found out he’d been accepted to Butler University when he answered the front door Thursday afternoon and found a 65 - pound English bulldog on the other side. As the university’s live mascot(吉祥物), Trip, tried to nose his way inside, representatives from Butler hand - delivered his admission packet. “We came from Butler to let you know you’ve been admitted to the Class of 2022,” said Michael Kaltenmark, Butler’s director.
Kaltenmark and Trip make anywhere from 40 to 100 home visits each year. Brown was just the seventh slop of the year and among the first likely Butler students to find out he’d been admitted. “These students have no idea.” Kaltenmark said, “which is really fun.”
It’s also really effective. Kaltenmark said students who get visited by Trip are three to four times more likely to choose Butler than students who are admitted but don’t get the personal visit. University administrators have been pleased with the results. too. “President Danko wants to done the dog and gel like 30 more,” Kaltenmark joked.
Nolan will wait to hear from a few other schools, but hopes he ends up in Butler’s strategic communications program. “I’ve been waiting anxiously for admissions from universities. It’s nice to know I’ve been accepted somewhere. This is the first one, and it feels good to get that monkey off my back,” he said.
Trip will continue to make visits throughout the college admissions season. Kaltenmark says they’ll make more stops around the Indianapolis area. “Sometimes the students already know they’ve been admitted, but Trip might make their decision easier. In those cases, we say ‘Congratulations! Here’s our dog, and we really want you to come in the fall,’” Kaltenmark said. “He’s sort of a hard face to say ‘no’ to.”
