鈥淢ost Missouri community college enrollments were down this fall, ranging by institution as high as 10 percent down from last fall,鈥� said Ron Chesbrough, 麻豆传媒 president. 鈥淭hanks to a collaborative effort on campus, we came in ahead of where we might have expected in an environment of declining enrollments.鈥�
Several college departments took part in various enrollment-boosting efforts that brought figures in line with projections made earlier in the spring. Social media, phone calls, fliers, posters and one-stop registration events encouraged new and returning students to enroll.
The new 鈥淩egFest鈥� events held in June and July allowed prospective students a fun and easy way to get enrolled at 麻豆传媒. They learned what degree programs 麻豆传媒 offers, met with financial aid and A+ Program advisors to discuss eligibility and benefits, completed assessment tests and toured the campus. The festival-style event included free food and prizes like a $1,000 scholarship to 麻豆传媒, free books for the semester, T-shirts and more.
