AMBASSADOR COLLEGE UPDATE
There is only one more week of classes before exam week, then Graduation
exercises on May 12th.
Yesterday, April 23rd, we had our annual Ambassador College Track and
Field Day. The A.C. students didn't set any new world records, but never
theless did very well.
After the track and field events, the students and faculty had dinner in
the Student Center, and this was followed by an enjoyable sing-along.
During the student-faculty dinner, Messrs. Jim Petty and Bernell Michel
were each presented with an award for many years of dedicated service to
Ambassador College and the Worldwide Church of God.
Dealing With Prospective Students
We have already accepted approximately 150 students for the 1980-81
college year. This is about all we can accept for the coming year.
About three weeks ago, we felt we should discontinue sending out applica
tion forms. We had already sent out about 1000, and we felt that if we
continued to send out more forms, we would raise the hopes of prospective
students, only to dash their hopes later when we informed them that we had
no more available spaces in Ambassador for this fall. Following is a copy
of a letter by Dr. William Stenger, Director of Admissions, which the
Admissions Office has been sending out for the past three weeks.
Dear Prospective Ambassador College Student:
Thank you for requesting an application for undergraduate admission.
As we are now winding down admis�ions for the fall semester 1980 we
are not sending out application packets at this time. However, we
will be sending applications for 1981 later this year.
New freshmen may apply only for fall semester (August 1981)
admission. Students who would like to transfer to Ambassador
from another college or university may apply for either spring
semester (January 1981) or fall semester (August 1981} admission.
Former Ambassador College students, including those who. attended
Bricket Wood or Big Sandy, who would like to be readmitted may
apply for spring, summer, or fall (1981).
If you would like to apply for admission in 1981, please complete
the enclosed postcard and return it to the Admissions Office at
your earliest convenience.
Your interest in Ambassador College is very much appreciated.
Even though we are not routinely sending out any more application forms
for the 1980-81 college year, this does not mean that we are unable to
accept any more students. It does mean, however, that we are very
limited as to our ability to accept very many more. And unless you
ministers give a very strong plug for an exceptional applicant, we will
be very reluctant to admit those who may seek admission for the 1980-81
college year.
