For Three Quick Questions, I send the same three questions to admission representatives at colleges all over the country, and then I hope to hear back from them. The three questions are meant to probe some of the things that make a school unique but that aren’t easily captured as a stat to go in a book or web search.

Today’s response is from Reletta McGhee, Admission Coordinator at Alabama State University in Montgomery, Alabama.

What is a course, tradition, program or event that is unique to Alabama State University?

Turkey Day Classic is a 99 year old tradition and the longest classic football game in history. ASU goes head to head with rival Tuskegee University. The game is played on Thanksgiving Day.

Naturally every college wants to recruit the perfect student--high grades, high test scores, involved in their community, leadership...everything. But what kinds of imperfect students tend to flourish at ASU?

The students that attend our Summer Bridge program. These students don't quite meet the regular admission requirements and are enrolled in enrichment programs to help them prepare for college level courses. 

When people come to visit Montgomery, what's a place off campus that you recommend they check out while they're there? The EJI Legacy Museum.

Thanks for reading! If you enjoyed this post, here are three easy things you can do:

3. Is there a school you’d like to hear from? Let me know, and I’ll make sure they get the questions.
