Hire admissions recruiter position - Full-time



Initiative TitleHire admissions recruiter position - Full-time
Submitted in Previous Year(s)2017
Critical Information, Notes, Justification, Rationale

With the demand to increase enrollment, The Office of Admissions would like to request funding for a full-time  admissions recruiter position. This person would recruit at local community events and would act as a community liaison between SUNY Orange, Admissions & the local community. Currently admissions has three professional staff members that recruit in multiple counties throughout the fall and spring semester. Having another staff member would allow us to be more strategic in terms of what type of student population we would like to increase (i.e. adult population). Our focal point would be on recruiting adult and veterans along with specialty programs such as the honors program. We would like the opportunity to split a position with Elaine Torda, Coordinator of the Honors program, to help with her recruitment efforts in our local high schools. 

Consequences of this initiative not being funded

As the institution and administration makes a push to increase our enrollment activity in Newburgh and our potential new Port Jervis location, this would be a great opportunity to have additional support to help increase our visibility in the community. Not having this position would not give us the opportunity to attend events that may attract new markets and student populations.

Department GoalsIncrease adult, veteran and honors enrollment for the 2018-2019 academic year.

Institutional Goals

Goal How will the initiative support this institutional goal?
Having an additional staff member would allow the admissions office to strategically market and recruit non-traditional, adult, veteran and honors students. This type of recruiting will help us compensate for the low high school graduation rates, which will continue to decline over the next 5-10 years.
Having this position would enable us to attend more community and recruitment events. In addition, we would be able to target market the adult population, which would support administrations vision to increase this student population. More focus can be given to the Newburgh Campus and the ability to serve the adult market. With areas such as West Point and Stewart Air Force base, we have an incredible opportunity to increase visibility and enhance our adult market in Newburgh.
