11Vsa gives me, as a college student, a chance to encourage prospective college students to get involved with Harding." - Bryan Pruitt Recruiting tomorrow's Harding V olunteers in Support of Admissions (VISA) was an active group this year. VISA was basically an organization that was involved in recruiting students .to consider attending Harding for an "education for eternity." They also acted as hosts and hostesses to students who were considering transferring to Harding. Brad Barber, a sophomore from Oil Trough, Arkansas, said, "My favorite part of VISA is meeting all of the new and exciting people that visit our campus." VISA was composed of about 25 members who were dedicated to the cause of representing the university at youth gatherings, rallies, and retreats. In the fall semester, one of the first meetings for VISA was an organizational meeting held at Dawn Zoller's home. Zoller served as assistant director of admissions. Also in the fall, the group was highly involved with High School Days. A typical High School Day consisted of high school students with two common interests - attending Harding and worshipping Jesus Christ. The main event of the spring semester was Youth Forum, a weekend workshop for youth around the country. These youth came to the forum to get familiar with what Harding has to offer. Groups, such as the Time of Day, entertained students during the weekend. Speakers also talked about different groups on campus. Another crucial time for VISA in the spring semester was Spring Sing weekend, since many pre-college students came to be entertained by the various social clubs. Bryan Pruitt, a senior from Nichols, Iowa, said, "VISA gives me, as a college student, a chance to encourage prospective college students to get involved with Harding." Pruitt was a new member of VISA, who joined the organization at the beginning of the spring semester. He, along with several other participants, went to many youth rallies, including one held in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Pruitt also said, "It's great to get to work with the youth."
