Progress Report

So I am really getting into the heart of this research project and really trying to find out what kind of recruitment program that SCSU has here. I've talked to a few people involved in it and it doesn't seem like there is any cohesive effort to recruit students. It all seems that individuals go out and recruit and dont really work with each other, so maybe that is problem that could be fixed. A lot of the articles im reading stress the importance of a team of people working together from all fields of the university to recruit minority students. A problem that I am also trying to face is that Im being sent all over campus trying to talk to this that and the other person who maybe kinda deals with the recruiting process. Is there a head person in charge of recruiting? what kind of methods are they using? are they successful?? Otherwise for now Im trying to focus on finding statistics that show enrollment and graduation rates of minority and majority students, both nation wide and specifically SCSU. The information we learned in class today will be helpful for the Nation wide statistics.

  1. Hi Nadiea,

    Who have you spoken with so far regarding recruitment methods?

    I am on a committee which is doing a study on first year students and programs specifically for first year students. Some of what we address during those meetings has to do with pre-enrollment. Let me see what I can find out re: minority recruitment.

    Sincerely,
