Recently, Extension Educators interested in Student Recruitment and reps from the UNL Student Recruitment office met to determine strategies for Extension's involvement in recruiting efforts. Strategies discussed included a recruitment tool kit for Extension , a career curriculum for Extension staff, and other opportunities for developing local connections (which really is our strength in Extension!). Thanks to those of you who were involved, great ideas emerged!
As the next step, an Extension Student Recruitment contact has been named from each district: PH – Annette Haas, NE – Amy Topp, SE – Karna Dam, WC – Brian Bosshamer. Kathleen Lodl will be working with that team to develop plans for how Extension faculty can help meet UNL's recruitment goals. Thank for all of your work in helping recruit students to UNL, when enrollment is up, we all benefit!
