Recruitment Plan 2013, 11 Objectives for 2013-2014 Goal: Increase New Student Enrollment Reach new student enrollment goals for the 2013 – 2014 academic year. Goal: Increase Enrollment Yield in Local Territories Refocus prospective student outreach in all Region 1 and 2 areas. Goal: Promote the Catholic and Ursuline Heritage of Brescia University Continue grass roots outreach to the Catholic community to help increase the number of prospective students receiving the Catholic Connection Grant. Recruitment Plan 2013, 12 SWOT Analysis Strengths Variety of undergraduate academic programs that are not typically found at a small Catholic university. Affordable private education with an excellent institutional aid program. Only Catholic university in Western Kentucky. Faculty and staff are very involved in the professional, personal, and spiritual development of students. A small campus that is close to downtown amenities and is safe. Record increases in enrollment which have resulted in more non-athlete students. Senior leadership who are willing to recruit students to the University. Five year strategic plan that will gel with the downtown development project. Processing speed of admissions and financial aid staff in application materials. Student telecounseling program. New leadership in Athletics as well as new coaching staff. Increased vibrancy of Career Services Office. New labs in Science Building. Addition of Student Services Center with purchase of 5/3 property. Addition of Honors College/Honors Theme House. New leadership in Student Development Office with addition of new Dean and new Director of Student Activities New leadership in Office of Financial Aid with addition of new Director of Financial Aid. Recruitment Plan 2013, 13 Weaknesses Large percentage of athletes who represent on-campus student population which may affect a non-athlete student’s decision to enroll. Campus aesthetic (i.e. décor in Lechner Center, no lights on in buildings, temperature of buildings, odor of buildings especially the cafeteria, elevators, overall cleanliness, chalkboards in classroom, etc.) Isolated experiences during which prospective students encounter a lack of client service from other campus offices/faculty. The increased success of BU Online has a competitive impact on the day programs ability to recruit new transfer students. Lack of racial diversity among student population. The lack of statistical information to provide to prospective students and their parents when they have questions (i.e. What percentage of pre-health science majors get into a graduate program?). Frequent turnover within Athletics Department. Opportunities Additional corporations moving to Owensboro which would create more internship opportunities and professional positions. A growing Owensboro / regional population. Completion of I-69.
