ADMISSIONS RECRUITMENT Prospective Student Receptions Alumni volunteers served as Ball State University ambassadors at fall receptions in Chicago, Indianapolis, and Fort Wayne, and mini-receptions in Richmond, South Bend, Lawrenceburg, and Evansville.

A list of the fiscal year's admissions receptions is included in the past activities section of this report. Cardinal Alumni Recruitment Team Alumni/Admissions Partnership The Cardinal Alumni Recruitment Team (CART) is a network of alumni volunteers from around the world who assist Ball State University with student recruitment.

Formed in 1999 as a cooperative effort between the Alumni Association and the Office of Admissions, the CART program has grown each year and in the fiscal year included more than 70 members in 14 states and two countries outside of the United States. CART School Advocates are Indiana high school teachers who serve as Ball State ambassadors to assist in fostering communication between students within their schools and Ball State. During the year, CART members worked at admissions receptions, served as BSU representatives on discussion panels at Indiana high schools and college fairs, hosted a college admissions and costs night for Ball State legacies and their families, referred students to Ball State University, and distributed scholarship information to students. On February 2, CART members hosted a bus trip bringing 123 prospective students from Indianapolis, Gary, and Chicago to campus for the day. Students were served lunch, received admissions and financial aid information, had a question-and-answer session with a current BSU student from their area, met with counselors, and attended a Ball State basketball game.

INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY The use of technology continued to play an important role in alumni programs, services, and communication. The alumni e-newsletter, NEWS from the Cardinal's Nest, was published and sent monthly to an average of 19,433 alumni. The newsletter contained information about Ball State University and the Alumni Association. E-mail was used to send Alumni Association event and program reminders to alumni that were initially informed by regular U.S. mail. The main focus of the technology staff continued to be the enhancement of the Alumni Association Web site. Areas of the Web site browsed frequently included: the Alumni Registry/E-mail Directory (7,980 participants), the Alumni Locator Service, Upcoming Events, and Programs and Services. The site content and services continued to grow, specifically with the addition of the COR Online Computer Training service, iAlumni Relations, upcoming events, and reunions. A new in-house training program was initiated in June. Training sessions were led and developed by the Alumni Association technology staff. Staff members attended sessions about various software programs used by the office and completed online evaluations developed by the technology staff.
