This document discusses strategies for recruiting underrepresented students, including first-generation and low-income students. It summarizes the results of surveys conducted with 3000 students from diverse backgrounds. The surveys found that family, teachers, and counselors most influence students' decisions to attend college. Students want personal outreach from admissions counselors and prefer email, text, and social media contact. Financial concerns are a major challenge, and students want help navigating financial aid. Clear and personalized communication is important to help diverse students apply and enroll.

Who is Not Studying Abroad? An Examination of Three Institutional Perspective...CIEE
To understand how to expand education abroad opportunities, we need to understand who is not going abroad. Presenters will share what they've done (or are doing) to expand participation with respect to the barriers of cost, curriculum, and culture. Participants will be invited to share best practices on how to change perception and make study abroad – academic study, work, or internships – more accessible. Case studies will include the Clemson Engineers for Developing Countries (CEDC) Haiti Initiative, an innovative student-directed program; Susquehanna University, which made study away a curricular requirement; and Medgar Evers College, the only Predominantly Black College (PBI) in the City University of New York, will explain how a one-person office has increased the numbers of underrepresented students going abroad.

The Scroll: Hamilton's Social Media Strategy (and Platform)Jess Krywosa
Creating a true strategy for social media can be a very trying effort. Besides choosing the most appropriate channels for your audience, you also have to create content, choose a voice and maintain conversation and engagement at a pretty high level. You also need to decide how loud your audience's voice is in comparison to your own. At Hamilton College, our strategy has turned this idea on its head: what if the audience was the primary content creator and voice? How do we then 'feed the beast' and highlight the great content coming from our campus, our alumni and our communities? Enter 'The Scroll' - Hamilton's home grown moderated social media mash-up (Launching in February). Find out the strategy behind this endeavor, how content is being curated, cultivated and maintained, and how research, buy-in and education lead to its creation.

In The Moment: Creating an Interactive CommencementJess Krywosa
Each year, thousands of families sit passively awaiting the moment that their one graduate finally crosses the stage. But until that fleeting minute, they sit, hot, hungry, tired and anxious. Why not give them something to do?
Graduates too, wait, anxious, excited, taking pictures, texting, sharing video. Why not provide a place for them to share this experience together, online, collectively and archived for them to view and share later?
What about those who cannot make it to the ceremony? How do they share in the day?
Last May, Suffolk University found a way to capture all of the activity that commencement brings. Find out how we used our institutional website, livestream, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, FourSquare, Flickr, text to screen and pre-shot video to make commencement a living, breathing event for all to experience.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

19. one | contacting students How helpful were the following during your college search and decision process?
20. one | campus tours Financial concerns prevented me from doing the following: 75% visited the campus before enrolling 70% visited less than 4 schools When asked what you would do differently, 77% of students said, “Visit more schools”
22. one | online access Where do you search or receive information from colleges? Students with a reported income below $50,000: 37% access information on a mobile device daily or weekly 53% use a public computer at least monthly
23. one | search sites What websites have been most helpful to you in your college search process?

35. two | current students “To have more students from the college explain student life at the college, the finances and extra activities that can be done. When on a campus tour, non-virtual or virtual, walk through a students day at the college. I would like to be able to read or hear from students currently attending that specific college.”
45. Students are frustrated the most by financial aid and scholarships. Make this easy and accessible and consider in person or online trainings to students and parent
A few quick disclaimersWe understand that outreach is a SMALL part of this larger conversation on how to help under-represented students. But this is where our expertise lies, in helping you connect with students. Our focus is going to be primarily on low income, first generation students with a specific emphasis on hispanic/latino students and africanamerican students. We found that in our research we simply could not generate enough native american student responses, which is problem a topic for an entirely different session and that our Asian populations responded almost identically in line with our caucasian respondents. They definitely seemed more sophisticated and savvy to this whole process.This is meant to be a collaboration, I would never express to be THE expert and look forward to hear your successes and what has worked well for you and your campus. Hopefully we can all learn from each other today.
INSERT THE FINANCES SCARE US FROM EVEN TRYING VIDEOThank everyone for attending the session, hope they find it valuable.I think it is important to start off by telling you the why behind our presentation and let me start by playing a short video clip. Going to talk a lot today about networks. Networks is a common theme these days and I feel one of the biggest reasons someones succeeds or does not succeed in college. Let me show you this video and then I would like to share my own experience.This is a perfect example of why we felt this is such an important topic. As you can see from the stats on the board, there continues to be huge gap in college education for under represented students. Who does this student have? Who is in her network? My own personal experience, its all about who you knowOur goal today is to give you ideas on how to expand your own network to reach these students and also how to counsel and provide opportunities for students to grow their network as well.
Break this presentation into 3 sectionsHow to find and connect with under represented students.Once you have found them hot to effectively work with them to successfully navigate this processWhat are the main factors that contribute to their enrollment decisions and what you as an institution can do to see growth in these areas.
Student clip showing how influential his sister has been in the processINSERT THE SISTER IS MOST INFLUENTIAL VIDEO
So we felt the most important question we could start with is, who is influencing these students. Who has their ear and is able to motivate these students to action. So our first question was how influential are the following people in your decision to just go to college. Every choice was on a 4 point scale ranging from not influential at all to very influential. The chart above shows the answers in order of most influential to least, with the answers combining to hit 100%. Main talking points- parent is obvious, play a huge role, but not surprising that hispanic and africanamerican students are not receiving equal parental influence. I think one issue is many of these parents don’t know. Many of the students in our focus groups actually said that they knew their parents supported and encouraged their decision, but really were not able to offer them any help. We were surprised by teachers and how influential, even more so than guidance counselors. Again, keep in mind this is for students deicision to attend, not where to attend. You will see that things shift a littleYou will noticed that among hispanic students that sibling influence is actually the third highest influencer. More so than any other ethnicity. Many students also said that their extended family, grandparents, uncles, nieces all played a big role in pushing them to go to college.I think the a really encouraging takeaway is just how influential admissions officers and tour guides can be, especially for africanamerican students. Goes back to the aneshia example, the network for her just isn’t there from family, classmates or friends, you have to push yourself and so having that push from an outside mentor is huge. Recommendation is to use current students at your university to reach out to their networks and people in their communities.
Parents really become the driving force, especially when you factor in cost, location, etc. Was again surprised to see how much the admissions counselors and tour guides influenced students decision as well as current college students begin to play a much larger role in this process. Teachers become a little less influential, as it should be. One thing we wanted to be clear on is guidance counselors. Many students did not know how to define this. Many of the high schools we were in students expressed frustration in their guidance counselors, many were looked at as graduation checklisters, not college guidance. Many in the focus groups sincerely thanked their college or career center leader, AVID counselor, etc for the support and motivation they provided. Main talking points- parent is obvious, play a huge role, found this did not vary much between ethnicities or among first gen or non first gen. Siblings and extended family become drastically less important in where the students go, in fact some may even be a detractor. HSC counselors become more important in where the student ends up, teachers not as much.Again emphasize the importance of admissions officers and their role in this process. These relationships are key and time needs to be spent to foster hat relationship, especially for young africanamerican students.We did not ask about religious leaders, but should have.
Insert the chart here about admissions counselor qualities and what is most important:Key takeaway, above all else is the personal approach and assistance from the counselor. One student said that the counselor would even check in as a mentor, not just in relation to the school itself. Second was that the student attended the college itself, or have students on hand to chat with these students. This goes back to our discussion earlier that students feel like they are being sold. Also, please give tour guides the chance to be candid. Tell students what your warts are. Prepare them. Many students will appreciate this and it will help them make the right choice. Same major, makes the argument for possibly having major based admission counselors, LeTourneau University does this and it has been wildly successful for them. I know this becomes difficult as we think about travel, etc. but based on our feedback it is extremely important. If you don’t feel comfortable doing this, get the faculty involved to send communications based on these majors and communications.Gender, Race, religion all were not huge factors AT ALL, in fact many students said they would prefer the opposite to get different perspectives.
Now that we know that admissions folks can be so influential it is important to know how students want to be contacted. The difficulty with these questions is every student is different and of course the question is always…which phase. One thing I know as well from schools I work with there is always this fear of driving students crazy. Based on the focus group feedback, I Strongly encourage you to always error on the side of being obnoxious. Many students said the best thing that schools could do is support them in this process and specifically mentioned schools who took the time to invest that time and build that relationship. As long as intentions are good, you will always be OK. One point that stuck out to us is that 2 times as many africanamerican and hispanic students said they would like text alerts compared to caucasian students. The funny thing is whenever we ask this questions students say, oh no, I would never want a text from a college and then we say well what about deadlines or imporant dates, etc and they always sing a different tune.
How do you prefer to be contacted, need to implement. I think suggestions on what part of the process. Keep emails breif due to the use of mobile devices.INSERT TEXT QUESTION VIDEO
Here will be the chart showing what tools were most helpful in their college search process:Key takeawaysCampus visit is king- more on this later, as a high school counselor encourage students to take any campus visits. This will help them be informed. Getting students on campus is the single biggest factor in determining where that student will enroll. We will discuss in greater length what more can be done to get students, especially low income students to campus. Colleges .edu websites and student reviews were extremely important, but is their content specficially for low income, first generation and minority students? I think this is something that schools are not doing well enough. Create specific content for these students. Many students complained about the complexity of these sites and ease in getting the information. Talking with current students. There is definitely a stigma out there that colleges are trying to sell me something and I want to hear directly from students. Involve students in this process as much as possible.College search sites came in at a very respectful number, nice plug for Zinch

That school became the top choice and where she eventually applied and enrolled.The campus visit experience is so crucial. Show a day in the life, introduce them to the student supprot services. When I was in college I used to work in housing, it was a ton of fun, I loved it and students were able to ask me questions about my experience, good and the bad. Campus visit experience video
We will be inserting the chart from our 2010 survey showing where students access online info, amazing how many are mobile now.Focus on the rise of mobile users. One focus group we did, every student said they receive email on their phone, 50% of the room had iphones and 40% had blackberries. Remaining 10% had androids and this was in a low income, heavy first gen high school.
We
Now that we have discussed how to connect with these students we want to switch our attention to helping them navigate the process effectively.
Now that we determined how to connect with students and where to go next we wanted to see what is most frustrating to these stduents. I am sure you can guess the top three answers. Let me share some quick feedback from students directly.I love this video because it highlights a huge frustration point for under represented students, the test. I would encrouage schools to really think about the emphasis they are putting on these tests. Take this girl as an example, young, brigh, sharp, energetic. Clearly a leader in this school and the focus group and yet she is going to be defined by a 5 hour test? They were not designed for those who can not gain access to test prep and so I would encourage you to think about this in your application and admission policies. This is not meant to be anti-sat rhetoric, just something to think about.
The thing I love about this video is obviously at Zinch our mantra is we belive students are more than a test score. This is not a statement against any testing agecny or anything, but I do think schools should consider the emphasis they put on these tests. They are just not designed for students that do not have the resources for test preps or have access to really solid AP prep programs, etc. They are helpful, but here you have an extremely talented, motivated africanamerican woman and her chances of getting in somewhere may be limited now because she did not perform well on a 5 hour test. I remember my own experience and thinking I don’t know what any of those words are! So here are the repsonses. Highlight whatever you think is important here.
Big point of emphasis for this pres, COUNSEL FIRST. Be there for the students. Don’t recruit first, counsel first. The question is, what can we do about it and how do we help. I think one of the biggest lessons I learned from this project is collectively we all have to do a better job at counseling first. That’s who we are, admissions counselors. It should not matter at the end of the day where these students end up, but whether or not we helped them get closer to their achieving their goals. In our SF focus groups some students shared their experience with Dominican University. We heard examples of colleges coming to campuses and providing assistance with everything from writing essays to filling out the fasfa. I think if our goal is to help students, this will ultimately come back to impact our enrollment numbers for the positive. One of the things that Penn State shared a huge part of their success was having satellite “admissions offices” in all the major metropolitan areas of PA. They wanted students to be able to come and meet with their staff in person and have their staff in the territories to be available to be on high schools campuses and involved in community programs as much as possible. I think this is an amazing idea and with the internet and tools such as skype and mobile devices there is no reason schools could not do this themselves. Second thing we learn is the importance of accessibility. Make your self available, if not in person, but through online tools such as chat, skype or oovoo, Social media, phone and text. This goes back to the idea of helping students expand their network. It is crucial for their success which is ultimately your success.
Trust and support are key to any successful admissions strategy and especially when dealing with underrepresented and first generation families.”Ed Escalet, Coordinator of Multicultural Recruitment and Outreach, Penn State UniversityThe college admissions process has been skewed by the affluent. The most important thing you can do is get personal. Point of Penn State
