Student Jobline Bank Created The University Treasury Corporation (UTC), has created the nation's most comprehensive employment data base called UTC - Jobhne. By tapping UTC- Jobline's affiliation with such major on line networks as CompuServe, students can make their credentials available to more than 100,000 employers'worldwide - for a fraction of what it costs to launch even a minimal resume-mailing effort. Students wishing to use the service can get a UTC-Jobline enrolhnent form from their school’s placement office, or by calling UTC-Jobline toll-free at 1-800-333-0385. Students then complete the form and send it, along with a one-time processing fee of $37.50, to the company's data processing center. Within 14 business days, a student's career credentials are on-line with CompuServe and available to employers worldwide for up up two full years after graduation. UTC-Jobline is a service of The University Treasury Corporation, a firm specializing in cash management and data-based products and services. The University Treasury Corporation is a member of C.A.S.E. (Council for Advancement and Support of Education), and a member of College Placement Associations. Director of Admissions Appointed By Michaell Parker Staff Writer Daniel J. Lovett is a bright new force here at Winston-Salem Stale University. Lovett is the new Director of Admissions. Lovett received his formal education from South Carolina State College where he obtained a B.S. in Counselor Education, and a Master's in Rehabilitative Counseling. He formerly worked at Guilford College as assistant director of admissions for 10 years, at North Carolina A & T State University as assistant director of Admissions for 5 years, and at South Carolina State College as Admissions Counselor for four years. "It was my goal to become Director of Admissions of a fully accredited college/university," says Lovett. He always had his eye on WSSU. He observed the school for quite some time and kept in constant contact with Carl Durham and Hayden Renwick, Enrollment Manager and Executive Assistant to the ChancellOT, respectively. One thing that really impressed Lovett about WSSU was its clientele. Thus, one of his goals is to increase enrollment. Trying to increase enrollment, going on recruiting trips, and projecting a positive imagine throughout the campus and community, is all apart of Lovett’s job. He is also hoping to encourage more minorities and out-of-state students to enroll here. Lovett says, "The recruitment process is a university-wide activity". One way he plans to increase enrollment is to have student ambassadors and information sessions on campus for prospective students. WSSU student ambassadors will go back to their high schools and try to recruit prospective students. The information sessions will give students, as well as their parents, the chance to review WSSU's academic, financial, and related programs. Lovett intends to implement these plans this spring. Lovett also wants to personalize the admissions procedure. He plans to emphasize the importance of the prospective student by converting incomplete files to accepted students, and from inquiries to applicants. A man of dedication and plans, Daniel J. Lovett is a true asset to WSSU. The plans needed to make WSSU greater can be implemented by LovetL Winston-Salem State University ; IS a . . MuUi-CuUural Institution ^ j ^, Committed to.
