Last Spring, R&R Committee members reviewed and provided input into the development of the Marketing Plan Brainstormed tactical ideas for the plan Developed two prioritized lists of key initiatives – one for Recruitment, one for Retention
Recruitment Initiatives: 1. Campus beautification - significant focus on the look of the campus - also on signage (exterior and interior) 2. Develop Summer Bridge Programs 3. Website – Update the Look and Improve Functionality 4. High School Advertising
Retention Initiatives: 1. Mandatory Orientation for all New Students - mandatory advised registration - orientation concentrated on student success - face-to-face plus a NEW on-line option 2. Early Alert Program 3. Campus-wide Retention Focus 4. Faculty Development re: Millennial Students
Current Status: Subcommittees have fleshed out each initiative Work teams established to see initiatives through implementation Some funding obtained – ie. Perkins Non Trad Funding of $25,000 for High School Advertising
Current Status continued: Work teams may be approaching others to join/assist Will be coming to CLT for funds as required - minimal marketing funds budgeted; will require reallocation to implement tactics Already brainstorming next set of priorities to be worked on once these 8 have been implemented
Other marketing-related activities Have completed the student focus group sessions. New communications tools implemented HCC Intranet Radio advertising for Spring and Summer ’09 Counselors (DOE) on Campus Construction Career Days
