    Recruitment Workshop for Program Staff
    Marie Boisvert (from the Office of Graduate Studies) will be facilitating a workshop on graduate program recruitment practices. Expect to brainstorm with your colleagues about what works, what doesn't work, the challenges of big programs and small programs and how to stretch those dwindling recruitment dollars further.

    Here’s a small list of some issues to consider:
    Budget
    Housing – student hosts or motel?
    Travel reimbursements
    Meals and entertainment
    Tours
    Packets – materials and freebies

    Let's all share our great ideas and advise each other against the bad ones, Please RSVP to Silvia Hillyer.
