Alumni Postcards

A group of Alumni Postcards in various colors

Help us spread the word about Purchase to a new generation of creative thinkers and culture makers.

Students have more college options than ever before (our prospective students apply to seven different schools on average). They not only apply to many schools, they get accepted to many schools, too.

They must decide which school among those acceptances is the best fit. It is crucial that we connect with accepted students during the decision-making process.

Here’s where you come in.

We would like you to share notes about experiences and successes in your own words with a select group of highly sought-after students who have been admitted to Purchase College.

After all, your success as alumni is our strongest endorsement. Prospective students would love to hear from you before making a final decision.

By sharing your story, you help paint a picture of life at Purchase and the possibilities beyond to make certain we can recruit the best possible students to ensure the creative and dynamic spirit of Purchase lives on.

How to Participate

To participate, simply write 60–90 words on the form below, encouraging admitted students to enroll at Purchase. Here are some ideas you may want to share:

Why you chose to attend Purchase
How your education at Purchase helped you in your career
The relationships you built here with friends and/or faculty members
The impact of your senior project
A club or organization you were involved with

Sample Notes

Dear Accepted Student:

I am a recent grad of Math and Computer Science and the most common response I hear is, “Isn’t Purchase an arts school?!” Purchase students can pride themselves on our amazing conservatories as well as our fantastic liberal arts and sciences programs. Putting yourself in an environment that embraces both, you get a lot of freedom to decide exactly what you want to study. But don’t forget college should go further than just academics. It’s important to Think Wide Open and find a community that supports you as an individual.

Congratulations on your acceptance!

Hello Newly Admitted Student!

Congratulations on your acceptance into the Theatre and Performance program! I came to Purchase wanting to experience all aspects of theatre and that’s exactly what Purchase provided. Classes which integrated history, theory, literature, and social engagement, along with hands-on training in performance, directing, management and production. This interdisciplinary style of learning has opened my eyes to new ways of thinking as an artist and a person.

Again, congrats and good luck in your college decision!

—Autumn ’18

Here’s where you come in.
