Members Update - As of mid-January there are 567 alumni, parents and friends in the Valpo Admission Network! Welcome to Aaron Brewer (Elkhart, IN), Jennifer Tinker (Oak Harbor, OH), Steve Smith (South Bend), Brett Iafigliola (Parma, OH), Erin Pergram (Middlebury, IN), Paige Whitney (Annapolis, MD), Jodi Medley-McMahon (Saukville, WI), Mary Detwiler (Watertown, NY), and Rose Gilbert (Saint Louis).
High School Liaisons/Contact Program - As of mid-January we have asked about half of you to contact nearly 900 admitted students to welcome them into the VU family! Sometimes it is frustrating when a student doesn't return your call or reply to your email; our admission counselors have this same frustration. But know that they usually do hear or read your message and that can make an impact. Valpo is known for reaching out, and your efforts to connect with potential members of our student body are important in this process of strengthening their link to the University.
VAN Visitors - What a wonderful surprise to have the following VAN members drop by to visit this month: Katie Hovsepian (West Virginia), Doug Watkins (Valparaiso), and Chicagoans Steve Zak, Tony Paske, and Mike Nevergall. A huge VAN thanks goes out to Dennis Cimbaljevich (Washington, DC) who stopped by during his winter break from Law School and offered to stuff a mailing for me while I attended a meeting! In the area? Stop by! I'd love to see you....AND may even have a mailing you can help me with!
