[nabs-l] Recruitment and recruitment letters

[Joe Orozco]

Jewel,

Never mind a letter as a first step.  Pick up the phone instead.  You'll get
a better sense of the college, and if the conversation goes well, you'll
have more than enough information to fill a letter.  I'm assuming you're
calling disability offices?  If so, you'll get a better sense of whether or
not they're even willing to distribute your letter to students.  No sense in
wasting time on resources that are not going to bring back a good return.

Hope that helps,

Joe

Subject: [nabs-l] Recruitment and recruitment letters

Dear list,
I have been placed in charge of writing a recuitment letter that would
be sent out to universities, colleges, vocational rehabilitation
counselors, and the like for NCABS. Has anyone written a recuitment
letter before? What sort of information do you put in these letters.
Is there a general format that is good for such letters?

If anyone has suggestions, ideas, or advice, feel free to reply here
or e-mail me privately. I'm hoping to make this recruitment letter the
very best I can, in the hope of attracting more students to our group.

Sincerely yours,

--
