Title	Faculty Feeder School Database
Description	UT Austin's Faculty "Feeder School" Database enables graduate advisers to put their very best graduate prospects in contact with former UT students who are now faculty members at institutions currently attended by applicants, thus personalizing the recruitment process. Because of the responses of almost 50 UT programs to the Graduate School's request, over 1000 faculty members at 400-plus colleges and universities in the U.S. have been written. As of April 2000, almost 600 of these former UT students have already granted permission to be included in the Faculty "Feeder School" Database. http://www.utexas.edu/ogs/feeder/feeder.html
