“Traditional” Recruitment Strategies We Use(d) (Year 1-2)• Posters, Brochures, Email blasts,
‘personalized’ letters from Dean, informational sessions, course visitation, alumni magazines, student newspaper
• Website ads (athletic, alumni, college)• Scholarships (Noyce, Hope, TEACH, Hach,
Knowles)• Pre-teaching listserv and club (GT)• Peer-led Team Learning (KSU)• Streamlined, focused, cohort-based program
![Page 9: Harvesting the not-so-low hanging fruit into Noyce](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081517/568159a3550346895dc6fa92/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
“Nontraditional” Recruitment Strategies We Use• Billboard along major Atlanta freeway• Courses specifically designed to recruit
majors into STEM teaching (CHEM 3400 (KSU); CETL 4001, 4002 (GT))
• Career Dispositions Survey to ALL intro bio, chem, physics courses (KSU)
• Institutional Structure (more to come)

KSU MAT Distinctives• More than 75% of faculty who teach
in these programs have taught their content in grades 6-12.
• Cohort-based model: build a professional learning community while you’re in school
• Option to earn AP certification while in the program (in some content areas)

Marketing Strategies, Year 3-4• Hired a marketing consultant (SU10)
• Hold focus groups with STEM majors, non-majors, former STEM majors• Develop message, branding, media outlets
• Recruiting from high schools that produce STEM majors at our schools
• Future Educator Clubs at local schools• Radio PSA• Partner with Alt Cert programs
![Page 19: Harvesting the not-so-low hanging fruit into Noyce](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081517/568159a3550346895dc6fa92/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
More Marketing Strategies, Year 3-4• STEM employers
• Lockheed Martin (layoffs, early retirement, career changers)• Kimberly-Clark
• Professional Societies• Society of Women Engineers (swe.org)• American Society of Civil Engineers (144,000 in community)
• State Departments of Labor (advertising, collaboration)• Workforce Investment Act (WIA) Offices (retraining STEM
professionals)• Community colleges that can do pre-education or STEM
courses who transfer majors to your school• STEM student organizations (BBB, SAACS)• Minority student organizations (loyalty to community)• Teach for America
