The Volunteer Alumni Network is a recruitment drive staffed by alumni who want to stay involved with the university. These alumni contact prospective students and give them a personal picture of UT life. Alumni who participate in the program actively define and recruit outstanding students to the univer- sity. After the alumnus contacts a student, the admis- sions office and alumni affairs both send letters to the student acknowledging the contact and expressing interest in helping the student enroll at UT. On occasion, alumni volunteers hold receptions at their homes for prospects. The VAN program is. . .valuable because it is an extension of the admissions office efforts to recruit outstanding students, said Donna Bletner, assistant director of alumni affairs.

Begun in 1984, the network now recruits in 20 states, with 260 alumni volunteers. Volunteers attend an orientation program before beginning any recruiting efforts and are continually updated about UT developments and happenings. Students with above average ACT and SAT scores, a high grade point average and involvement in many school and community groups and activities are brought to the attention of the alumni volunteers. The admissions office works hand-in-hand with alumni and provides lists of prospective students from their student search service. Tom McDonald -by Karen Ann Simsen at the end lUnP.
