In an agent I have to make the following lines appear as bullets and not dashes. Any ideas on how to do this?
“- the coveted Blue & White Society limited edition T-shirt with a new design every year;
 ” +_
“- merchandise discounts at Penn State Bookstores; and
 ” +_
“- access to the online directory of more than 460,000 Penn Staters (very helpful when networking for internships and jobs).
” +_

Why don’t you generate an unordered list instead, which will display bullets by default?
If you replace the dashes with other characters, you would always have to rely on the font on the users machine supporting it. Another option would be to link to bullet graphics, but I’d surely go for the ul.

It’s not just more convenient to create an unordered list, it’s more correct – anyone using assistive technology will be able to tell it’s a bullet list, while the indent-and-punctuate version is just confusing.

Yep, absolutely no objection.
