As always, I love to meet up with you when you visit Valpo . Thanks, Daniella Trombatore (Baltimore) for having lunch with me when you were on campus a few weeks ago!
The VAN has 573 members ! Welcome to new members Amber Hunt (VU '06, Austin, TX), Russ Chibe (VU '01, Chicago), and Joel Troxel (VU '06, Hanna, IN), and welcome back to Susan Upward (VU '97 San Diego), who has been in Iraq.
April is the last month when VAN members contact admitted students . If you have retained the information which we sent you earlier this year and would like to reconnect with “your students,” please do so and encourage their housing and enrollment deposit by May 1 st . However you may want to check with us first! Drop us an email and we'll look up the student's status – whether they've deposited or cancelled their admission ( admissions.network@valpo.edu ) – or you can always give me a call at (toll free) 888-468-2576.
