Recruit Prospective Students

Alumni interested in assisting the Office of University Admission with recruiting prospective students can serve as volunteers of the Alumni Recruiting Network (ARN). ARN area coordinators staff Villanova information booths at college fairs and plan field receptions for accepted students in their area. The ARN area coordinator is the primary admission volunteer in a geographic area and serves as a member of the chapter's leadership council. For more information contact Erin Fitzsimmons.

  • Rules & Review

  • Mission & Social Justice

Sponsor an Internship

Villanova students thrive in the workplace and receive valuable hands on experience during the course of their Villanova education. It is imperative that we provide them with appropriate real world experiences to supplement their classroom work. If you are in a position to offer a semester or summer internship in your company please go to the Networking Section of the VUAA website.
