VALDOSTA -- Valdosta State University President Patrick J.
Schloss and other VSU representatives will travel throughout the
state during the 2011 V-State Experience Tour, January 19 - April
14. Alumni along the eight-stop tour will host receptions for VSU
alumni, parents, friends and prospective students.
More than 33,000 alumni live in Georgia, representing 67 percent of
the total alumni base. John Trombetta, director of Alumni
Relations, said the alumni-sponsored receptions provide the VSU
community with an opportunity to connect with each other and the
university. Prospective students and their parents are encouraged
to come and speak with current students and their parents as well
as alumni and friends about the Valdosta State University
experience.
“We have two new features in our annual tour this year,” Trombetta
said. “One is that we have appointed host committees to help bring
our alumni out; secondly, we are encouraging all those associated
with VSU to come out and share their experiences with prospective
families and get an update about what is happening on
campus.”
