Fall enrollment ndsu

[LefseBison]

Based on the comments here, I hit the pavement and pinged a few people. What I gather is that based on analytics, NDSU does very little physical mailing anymore. It’s all targeted on-line marketing. So, I encourage you to call/email/write the marketing department with your stories and concerns. My understanding is they just hired a new director, so this would be a good time to make yourselves heard, loud and clear

Sorry, I don’t mean to be an asshole, but Waters just gave us something incredibly positive to focus on. Remarkable and differentiating, really. No need to go negative all the time, imo, but maybe that's just me

Best thing I have heard from you. Let the Recruitment Dept know about this. BIG TIME. I plan to wait until the final enrollment numbers come in (soon) I am going to summarize my thoughts and very generally other thoughts I am hearing from the "street" send to Cook, Bertolini, and Recruitment and, hell, John Glover*. Not a harsh note but just some concerns and ways to do better. Between all of them, at least one of their secretaries will read it and maybe pass it on.

*Hell, the less students, the less Alumni down the road. John cares about enrollment, too.

Is Marketing different than Student Recruitment? I assume it is. I will add Marketing then to my list. This is not the time to be timid, people.

Note that there's nothing there about NDSU's total for the year, which I'm hearing is just barely above last year's....but at least we didn't go down any....

No real substantial increase. Why not just make as little effort as possible to make the statistics look favorable? It is just such a sad excuse. Lazy enrollment. I am one of those people who tries for 110% in my life.

Given how good MSUM and Concordia are doing with all the available tools, it's not terrible. Really competitive. But we need to keep making gains

[LefseBison]

Yea, we cannot compete with a state that at least in the case of MSUM, their state backs them up. I assume Cobbers are like NDSU, we have to fund our own stuff.

Concordia got real competitive overnight with free tuition under 90k household. The key is you can be from ANY state That makes them better overnight

I don't think you know what free means. That tuition is getting covered somehow.
