The Regional Recruiter is responsible for outreach efforts and recruitment of prospective undergraduate and graduate students to the University. Outreach efforts include but are not limited to; traveling to and from or within assigned recruiting regions; visiting high school campuses, community colleges, and other affiliated events; planning, arranging and implementing a personal recruitment schedule; providing advisement to students and families regarding educational opportunities and options; planning, developing, implementing, and evaluating programs, special projects and events, and other initiatives geared to recruiting students within targeted populations in conjunction with event staff in the Office of Admissions; analyzing trends in student recruitment and retention programs; giving presentations for and in various settings such as parent nights in high schools, community colleges, and other public audiences; assisting with creating and distributing a range of resource and promotional materials designed for the recruitment and retention of students in targeted areas; reviewing individual applications and evaluating candidates for admission eligibility; troubleshooting problems with applications, and overseeing and/or coordinating & maintaining communications with applicants; keeping accurate records of recruiting activities and contacts; assisting with other student service projects and events as requested; working to achieve yearly assigned recruiting goals.
