CAAAN
The Cornell Alumni Admissions Ambassador
Network (CAAAN), consists of nearly 4,000 volunteers organized
into about 300 committees in the United States and many other countries.
It assists the Cornell admissions community in meeting this primary
goal:
Identifying and attracting applicants whose academic performance and abilities indicate a strong
chance for success; whose interests represent the breadth of academic programs at Cornell; whose
personal qualities and achievement in non-academic areas could maintain or improve the quality of
life at Cornell; and who come from a wide spectrum of geographic areas, socio-economic backgrounds,
and racial/ethnic groups.
CAAAN members are involved in a variety of activities designed to meet this goal: Encouraging
academically qualified and interesting students to consider Cornell as a place to continue their
education. Developing and maintaining contacts at local secondary schools, especially with guidance
counselors or college advisors, and with community agencies that work with underrepresented minority
students. Personalizing the admissions process through contacts with candidates for admission,
answering questions, and providing a positive perspective on the University. Providing information
about applicants to the admission selection committees. Encouraging students accepted for admission
to attend the University.
