Recruitment

Recruitment is a year-round process. To find a "Starting point", consider the annual Recruitment Pitch, which is sent to the Directors and Associate Directors in late April/early May each year, and which details the advertising locations & costs, and planned recruitment events for the next year, as well as data from the prior years' events.

Recruitment largely centers around advertisements for events and 'calls-to-action' (Apply Now!).
The largest recruitment event is the Extended Open House, which you may find more information about under the 'Extended Open House' section of the 'Events' tab on this site.

Aside from this large event, most recruiting interactions are as follows:

  • Emails seeking more information/a meeting

  • Phone calls seeking more information/a meeting

  • In-person visits for a meeting with the Grad Admin and/or Assistant

  • In-person visits for the day (sit in on a class, meet a student, meeting with the Grad Admin/Assistant)

    • These visits typical begin in October and end around Thanksgiving so students can get their feet under them when the first arrive in Aug/Sept, and can focus on their finals after Thanksgiving.

    • In the spring, visits begin in March (after admissions decisions are sent out, and continue until the end of April (again so students may focus on finals).

    • There may be visits in the summer, but they're less frequent.
