"Pick Us": Enrollment and Recruitment Strategies to Set Your Institution Apart

Watermark_ChroniclePage__v2 (1).png

Undergraduate enrollment has experienced two consecutive semesters of growth as of Spring 2024. Does this mean colleges can relax?

Simply put: No.

Between demographic shifts, concerns over the value of a degree, financial stress, and uncertain future career opportunities, colleges can’t afford to ignore their enrollment strategies.

Join The Chronicle on October 15 at 2:00 p.m. ET for a virtual forum, “‘Pick Us’": Enrollment and Recruitment Strategies to Set Your Institution Apart.” Moderated by a Chronicle journalist focused on higher-ed enrollment and student success, we’ll explore:

  • Current enrollment challenges facing higher ed.
  • Strategies and retention efforts you can explore.
  • Ways to stay competitive with your programs and services.

Whether we’re approaching the upcoming enrollment cliff or not, you can’t afford to ignore your enrollment and recruitment programs.

With Support From Watermark.

Host: Ian Wilhelm, deputy managing editor, The Chronicle of Higher Education
