Just a different viewpoint...

I've found that a terrible amount of businesses don't respond to e-
mail. From what I've seen, it tends to be considered the responsibility of
the IT person, which is rarely a full-time staff member if even an official
position, Many businesses set up their websites and contact lists because
they felt obligated to, but aren't really sure what to do with them.

Try sending letters instead. This will a) differentiate your requests
from the spam that may be flooding into their servers, b) differentiates
you from the causal, curious, or bored e-mailer that they may see too much
of, and c) allows them to respond with forms, packages, pamphlets, folders,
or whatever that they already have available, most of which never made it
into electronic form.

You may be surprised at how different the response is . Or you may
not. But it'd be a shame to lose out on a good school because they're not
concentrating on their web presence.
