Outreach
Establish an Open House for recruitment and community engagement
This action plan will both modify and build upon the Enrollment Day of recent years to establish a late winter/early spring event showcasing college programs and community offerings. Target audiences will include high school students, particularly seniors, as well as nontraditional populations and the larger community. The purely functional, priority-enrollment-focused aspects of previous Enrollment Days, including application workshops, financial aid assistance and orientations, will be managed separately by the Office of Outreach and held at various optimal times on spring evenings and weekends, with promotional managed by the Office of Communications but without unrelated activities.
Leads: Office of Communications and Office of Instruction
