KENTUCKY STATE UNIVERSITY Regular Meeting of the Board of Regents Student Affairs Committee Report January 21, 2016 Cooperative Extension Building Conference Room Frankfort, Kentucky
The Office of Admissions is conducting a search for a Director and Assistant Director. The positions have been advertised and applications are under review. The search is open until a qualified candidate is hired. President Burse has established the Enrollment Management Task Force to manage day-to-day operations until a Director is hired.
The staff members in the Office of Admissions have re-examined the outcomes of the 2015 Spring Open House. The national ACT test date was the same date as this event, which may have been the primary reason for the low attendance. With a renewed sense of commitment for a successful 2016 event, several changes are taking place.
The following compares the previous year's Open House:
| Spring 2015 | Spring 2016 | |
|---|---|---|
| Open House Date | April 18, 2015 | March 26, 2016 |
| Attendance | 60 students and parents | 800 – 1,000 students expected |
| Publicity | Minimal Advertising | Invitations to High Schools, Churches, Social Organizations, Facebook, KSU Website, Alumni Clubs, KSU Academic Departments, post card mailings. Date: January 15, 2016 January 2016: 1. Advertising Poster for the Open House designed for publication. 2. Posters and postcards will be mailed to each high school in Kentucky as well as churches and business in the service counties. 3.
