I'm writing to give you feedback from a parent's perspective and to compliment your school for the thoughtful way you have continued to keep him excited about the prospect of attending Seton Hall.  Ryan has been accepted into several other schools but none have done better than Seton Hall at communicating; keeping him involved and interested; inviting him to programs, chat sessions and events and motivating him to attend.  And even though Ryan is still waiting to hear from a few other schools, I thought you might appreciate what he said.  A few days ago, Ryan was presenting his senior project to his high school teachers.  When one asked him what his plans were after graduation – he replied that he is a "Seton Hall Pirate."  

As parents, this has been very comforting to us, especially since he is considering heading completely across country to attend your university.  And if this is the way your entire university is run - I am confident he will be well served.  

I have been a good evangelist for SHU.  I have shared with other parents how responsive SHU has been and the recruiting process.  I worked at a few large companies here in Seattle – one a (very) successful coffee start-up called Starbucks.   I led their supply chain partner (human) resource organization.   I have learned a lot watching how you have managed this process.  I remain very impressed and you have given me some excellent ideas about how we should be recruiting top talent.
