A new program has been
established recently at Winston-
Salem State University to train
a team of alumni as recruiters
to attract the brightest stu
dents.
The goal of the Specially
Trained Alumni Recruiter
(S.T.A.R.) program will be to
assist the WSSU Office of
Admissions in the recruitment
process, achieve greater name
recognition for the university
and reach a larger number of
prospective students.
Interested alumni volunteers
will attend a series of training
institutes conducted by
Admissions Office staff in tar
geted local and regional areas
of North Carolina, Virginia,
Maryland and New York. Other
areas will be added as the pro
gram progresses.
They are provided training in
recruitment techniques, given
the materials needed to be suc
cessful, a specific time frame in
which they will be needed and
access to an Admissions staff
member as a point of contact.
"Our alumni are a valuable
resource that we plan to utilize
more in our effort to attract
quality students to WSSU,"
said Patrice Mitchell, WSSU
director of admissions.
"This program will also
allow our alumni to become
even more involved in and con
nected to the activities of the
university."
A presentahon about the new
program was made to alumni
chapter presidents during the
WSSU Annual Alumni Retreat
held in July.
A similar presentation is
scheduled for the general alum
ni association meeting on Sept.
1, which will be followed by a
training session on Sept. 8 at
WSSU for local alumni chapter
representatives from Winston-
Salem, Greensboro, High Point,
Charlotte and Lexington.

the S.T.A.R. program, contact
