22. Sample Comments
Student recruitment and current enrollment
22
“The students are who bring in the tuition dollars and thus their experience must
be the best possible. Enhancing the student experience will help in future
recruitment and possibly even in recruiting better professors to teach the
students.”
“If we're not meeting student needs and expectations with regard to the "real"
world, then we won't have much of an enrollment. Hence academics become
moot.”
“From a recruiting and retention standpoint, the Student Experience is critical. It
needs to be addressed in terms not only for traditional students, but also not-
traditional, international, and online students as well.”
“Students should have the experience here that makes them want to give back to
LSU. Not just financially, but also through volunteering, helping to recruit, and
being proud to say they went to such a great school.”
