        	<p>Since the early 1970s, <span class="caps">VACRAO</span> has administered the Virginia Tour, a state-wide series of college fairs. We are committed to providing an opportunity for students to meet with college representatives in every region of the state. </p>

	<p>While the individual fairs are organized by local school districts, <span class="caps">VACRAO</span> assists in scheduling, publicity, set-up, and the dissemination of program details to its membership. The School and College Relations Committee works closely with high school counselors and community colleges to coordinate mutually-convenient programs. The schedule of college day and night programs includes some 75 individual fairs a year, and blanket the state of Virginia over eight weeks from September to November. The result provides every student within the state the opportunity to attend a fair in his or her region, and every <span class="caps">VACRAO</span> member the ability to effectively recruit in Virginia. Participation in the Virginia Tour is one of the primary benefits of <span class="caps">VACRAO</span> membership.</p> 	<h2>See:</h2>
