A Definition of Recruitment
Recruitment is any activity that will impact a student’s decision on whether or not to enroll and persist at the university.
Recruiters include admissions professionals, but also current and future students, community members, faculty, alumni and university staff.
A Two-Fold Strategy• Expand the top of the funnel.
– Examples of interventions:• Purchase more prospect names• Attend more recruitment events• Segmented marketing of programs and
scholarships• Expand reach of campus events
• Step onto CampusStep onto Campus– 2160 attendees (+985 from 2006)– 103 high schools covering the state from
South Bend to Evansville
A Two-Fold Strategy• Increase the yield from one stage of the
funnel to the next.– Examples of interventions:
• Targeted scholarships• Personalized “High-touch” messages focusing on
the individual
Facts• The state of Indiana is the 5th largest net
importer of college bound students• Fall 2007 IUPUI had 9.1% non-resident
enrollment (Fall 2006—9%)
– 3.6% of undergraduate students (2006-3%)
– 22.6% of graduate/professional students (2006-23%)
• Resident students decreased by 37 (-0.1%) and Non-resident students increased by 127 (+4.9%)

Defining the Challenge
• To increase the number of new Non-Residents to 10% of the incoming freshmen class (or 400 students), IUPUI will need to enroll 270 additional Non-Resident students (including both domestic and international).
• At 2006 rates, this will require 1660 additional applications and 700 more admits from Non-Resident students.
• This would represent a 200% increase in applications and admits from Non-Resident students.
