As most of you know, I am a student "Ambassador in Admissions," or AIA for short at Valpo. Basically, we give tours to prospective students and call prospective students on the phone.
Anyways, last summer I gave a tour to this American family who lived in Spain. We had a few tours from international families last summer, so while these types of tours are rare, they aren't unheard of. Anyway, the tour went well and they seemed interested, but you can never really tell especially with students that aren't your typical Midwest type.
So today, one year and one day after starting work in the Admissions office, I am asked to take a picture of a family. Sure enough, it's the family that I gave a tour to from Spain last summer, and they wanted a family picture by the Torches on the US 30 entrance to campus. They informed me that their son decided to attend Valpo this fall, and that my tour had a part in their decision. But the best part of the whole story: He chose Valpo over Butler.
Have a safe and happy 4th of July everyone!
