Enticing High School Students to Study Business: One College's Efforts
Guidry, Krisandra; Field, J. Robert
Research in Higher Education Journal, v39 Jan 2021
Higher enrollments mean more funding for higher education, as the new model for funding rests on tuition rather than state funding. This paper describes a format for bringing relatively small groups of high school students to campus for an educational workshop, which also serves as a recruiting event. Connecting high school students with college faculty is an effective method to get them interested in a post-secondary education. Research shows that campus events like those described in this paper, rather than field recruiting and college fairs, is especially meaningful for first generation college students. In this case, enrollments increased.
