Recruiting Techniques

To counteract this problem, the admissions
office has attempted various techniques. The
first technique is that of informing alumni of
the changes in the atmosphere and enrollment
at the University. This is done in supplements
to the Handbook to Alumni School
Committees that are given to local alumni
committees helping in recruitment. One recent
supplement informed the alumni of the
university's interest in recruiting students from
minority groups and the beginning of
coeducation.
