Enrollment Management Paradigm

Enrollment management is a systematic, holistic, and integrated approach to achieving enrollment goals by exerting more control over those institutional factors that shape the size and characteristic of the student body. It includes activities associated with attracting and retaining students including marketing, recruitment, financial aid, orientation, advising and instruction. It also involves examining institution mission, program and service offerings, organizational structure, and resource allocation. The process relies heavily on the use of pertinent data and information for informed decision making.

INTRODUCTION

UIC is an institution that has in many ways recreated itself many times during its short history. Currently, with a number of changes in leadership and an ever changing financial outlook, the time to evaluate, analyze and implement a strategic enrollment management plan in keeping with this changing environment seems appropriate.

The vision for this strategic enrollment management plan is to assist UIC in the future by creating an integrated road map to advance all of our recruitment, retention and graduation efforts that supports our Chancellor’s overarching goals that are to focus UIC on academic excellence, access and student success; to emphasize transformative impact and social good; to foster diversity and a global perspective; and to honor and to partner with Chicago and the state of Illinois to enhance the human condition of its citizens.

The plan does so by providing comprehensive enrollment management efforts that are designed and will be implemented to enhance and evaluate common enrollment variables. It is meant to be a living document that can inform and direct the university’s enrollment strategies that are compatible and align us with the Chancellor’s overarching goals as stated in her address: “Maintaining our Excellence” at the 2011 Leadership Retreat.

As a living document, this plan will continually be updated and expanded as the analysis and assessment of the initiatives are completed.

Ultimately, this plan will require the talents, energy and assistance of the entire campus and most especially the members representing the offices traditionally tied to the model of enrollment management in order for us to meet our stated enrollment goals in these challenging economic times.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

This plan represents the accumulation of various forms of data that serve as important considerations for the overall enrollment management plan for UIC over the next few years and provide the appropriate support for the goals and strategies that the division has set forth in this plan to achieve the desired enrollment and remains true to our mission, values and university wide goals. Typically an enrollment plan, such as this, requires a year and a half of planning. Instead, we have decided to gather the information available to us currently, analyze it and begin work where it seems most appropriate to act. Initiatives that are fully developed will appear in the body of this plan. The appendix will act as a place holder for sections to be developed more fully. As these programs and their information are gathered, analyzed and strategic steps developed to address those initiatives, that section of the appendix will be placed in the body of the document.

Several factors were considered in our initial analysis. First we considered the current profile of our undergraduate student body and their reasons for attending here. Key findings were:

1. Our largest student enrollment is in LAS (9981) followed by Business (2251) and then Engineering (2158). The largest ethnic group of students are White (44.8%) and female (8,142 vs. 7, 372 males) and come from Illinois (97.1%) and specifically from Cook County (16,384 students).

2. Although most of our students are from Illinois, it was noted that since 2006 we have grown the number of Illinois residents. In contrast, our out-of-state as well as international student populations have declined. During this same period, similar urban state institutions have strategically set out to increase these populations in light of declining state funding and the change in enrollment trends nationally and internationally.

3. Historically, the UIC admissions office has not recruited out of state. However, there is a less than 1% out of state enrollment. The students within that group represent the following primary out-of-state locations: California, Wisconsin, Michigan, Minnesota, Indiana and Florida. The secondary out-of-state markets are New York, Iowa, Missouri, Arizona and Maryland.

4. A significant number of our enrolling students speak a language other than English as their primary language in the home. Spanish is the highest percentage reported (34%) in this category.

5. Of the top five reasons our enrolling students are pursuing a college degree, a majority are for preparation in specific careers and graduates school academic aspirations.

6. The top two reasons why students are attending UIC are because of our academic reputation (60%) and our ability to place these graduates into jobs (61.2%).

Second, past enrollment patterns, current demographics and political trends were examined resulting in the following assumptions and enrollment goals:

1. Improvements in graduation and retention rates will put increased pressure on recruiting efforts to bring in new transfers and first year students to maintain the enrollment numbers.

2. We continue to improve graduation and retention rates however, greater parity across ethnic groups would better support our UIC specific commitments to these underrepresented student groups and will also provide significant strides in obtaining our 86%/65% first year retention and four year graduation goals.

7 | P a g e


3. Increased competition for students nationally and a steady state of high school graduates in IL will increase the need to seek new opportunities for potential UIC students in new in-state, out-of-state and international markets. In particular, the out-of-state and international student increases would add to the number of current student positions in addition to growing and diversifying our student population with these respective characteristics and would maintain the positions for the students of Illinois and the Chicagoland area that are a part of our historical mission at UIC.

4. The trends for international students coming to the U.S. combined with the current attractiveness of the University of Illinois, the state of Illinois and Chicago as international destinations provide an excellent opportunity for UIC to begin a strategic international recruitment effort.

5. Our yield process was in need of more strategic initiatives to better support the desired enrolling student outcomes. Appendix A is a comprehensive view of the new yield process that has been instituted this year for the fall 2012 enrolling student cohort.

6. The introduction of the Common Application to the U of IL institutions will also give us increased visibility and assist us toward our stated enrollment goals specifically as it relates to the out-of-state and international markets.

Finally, an initial SWOT analysis was completed for UIC and an enrollment action plan that identifies goals and supported rationale with strategies to reach the stated goals through 2012 and 2013 enrollment cycles. Those stated goals are:

1. Increase the percentage of underrepresented undergraduate students. 2. Increase by 1% per year for the next 8 years the percentage of new international undergraduate students. 3. Increase the percentage of non-resident undergraduate students.

Based on this analysis and our goal to make an immediate impact on the fall 2013 class, we have decided to address the admissions yield efforts first. UIC's yield, its percentage of admitted students who decide to enroll, is a critical factor in determining the number, diversity, and academic strengths of its incoming class every fall. To maximize the quality of its yield for fall 2013 and beyond, the Office of Academic and Enrollment Services has developed a comprehensive plan of recruitment and yield campaign activities. These programs will occur from August 2012 through May 2013 and will involve the active participation of staff, faculty and current students. The Recruitment Campaign goals for fall 2012 will focus on (1) identifying high achieving high schools to visit in the fall, (2) identifying high yield regions in which to attend local college fairs, (3) more emphasis on school visits, (4) increasing strategies and efforts for non-resident recruitment, (5) developing and fostering collaborative working with special populations, e.g., foster youth, low income first-generation (see Appendix C and O), (6) development and implementation of an outreach cohort comprised of current UIC undergraduate students. The Recruitment Campaign goals for 2012-2013 will be comprised of programs/activities, including: (1) pre-identified in-state and out-of-state college fairs, (2) Illinois and joint statewide Counselor Conferences, (3) regional Counselor Conference, (4) UIC 4 U events, (5) strategic school visits, (5) Preview Day (6) Black Church Initiative (see appendix C) and (7) the strategic development of an underrepresented student recruitment strategy based on statistical data analysis. The 2012-2013 Yield Campaign has four goals: (1) continue to meet enrollment targets, (2) yield more of the top admitted students to increase academic profile, (3) increase numbers from traditionally underrepresented populations (4) attract more top students interested in engineering, sciences, social sciences, humanities and arts. The 2012-2013 Yield Campaign will comprise nine programs/activities: (1) the admit packet, (2) an email campaign, (3) Spring Open House including campus and departmental events, (4) Experience UIC, (5) Inside UIC, (6) UIC Ambassadors, (7) interactive faculty and peer contact events, (8) highlight UIC targeting students from referral pool, and (9) phone call

campaigns to students who have been admitted for fall 2012. Each of these programs is described in the Proposed UIC Recruitment and Yield Campaign 2012-2013 section of this plan.

INSTITUTIONAL VISION, MISSION, GOALS AND VALUES 1 VISION

UIC will be, and be recognized as, the nation’s premier urban public research university. UIC seeks to embody the ideal of a public university: to cultivate the highest intellectual ambitions of faculty, students, and staff and, at the same time, contribute to the making of a more egalitarian society. We will be a resource and destination accessible to all who share our ambitions and have the desire to excel. We seek to be both a leading research university and a great urban institution, taking advantage of the opportunities and needs presented to and by the State of Illinois and the City of Chicago. We believe that for this commitment to be meaningful in the twenty-first century, it must be both local and global, a commitment not only to Chicago but to all “Great Cities.” Whether in the surrounding communities or on the other side of the globe, in our own library or on the worldwide web, in the single-investigator laboratory or at an international research center, we are dedicated to creating, sharing, and applying the knowledge the twenty-first century demands.

MISSION

UIC shares in the overall mission of the University of Illinois, which is to transform lives and serve society by educating, creating knowledge, and putting knowledge to work on a large scale and with excellence. For UIC, this mission is expressed as:

• To create knowledge that transforms our views of the world and, through sharing and application, transforms the world.

• To provide a wide range of students with the educational opportunity only a leading research university can offer. • To address the challenges and opportunities facing not only Chicago but all Great Cities of the 21st century, as

expressed by our Great Cities Commitment. • To foster scholarship and practices that reflects and responds to the increasing diversity of the U.S. in a rapidly

globalizing world. • To train professionals in a wide range of public service disciplines, serving Illinois as the principal educator of

health science professionals and as a major healthcare provider to underserved communities.

STRATEGIC GOALS

At the 2011 Leadership Retreat Chancellor Paula Allen-Meares introduced six overarching goals that she seeks the campus to advance. Those goals are:

• Focus on our academic excellence, access and student success. • Emphasize transformative impact and social good. • Grow our translational research and discovery enterprise. • Foster diversity and a global perspective. • Honor and partner with Chicago and the state of Illinois to enhance the human condition of its citizens. • Innovate within to build future strength and success.

1 These areas have been taken from the UIC 2010 Strategic Thinking Report and Committee as well as updates to this document via the UIC Chancellor and Provost at the 2011 Leadership Retreat.

VALUES

Certain core values are so essential to UIC that they inform every element of individual and institutional practice. The very best of what UIC can become will be imbued with the values of:

• Knowledge that leads to global as well as individual transformations • Openness to the world of ideas and urban and global change • Access to excellence • Excellence in every facet of intellectual life and in the physical, cultural, and developmental environment that

sustains academic achievement • Collaboration in scholarship, problem-solving, and innovation • Caring in our relationships with our students, patients, colleagues, alumni, and communities

The central value of UIC is knowledge: the creation of knowledge through scholarship and research, and the sharing of knowledge through teaching, application, and practice. The university is especially committed to knowledge that can transform the global society just as it can the everyday lives of our students and other stakeholders. Knowledge always has a context, benefiting from and contributing to the societal and intellectual communities that comprise the university environment. Therefore, we at UIC practice openness to all domains of knowledge and to the human and physical environments that give such knowledge its many meanings. Further, we believe that new knowledge, as never before, will require openness to crossing disciplinary and institutional boundaries where interdisciplinary, inter-institutional, and cross-cultural sites of discovery will be the platform for future invention, research, and creativity. Finally, openness with regard to persons means an abiding respect for the peoples and cultures of the world. UIC's vision of a more egalitarian society requires an unstinting commitment to access, providing the broadest range of students, faculty, staff, and visitors from every part of the city, the state, and the world with all the benefits of a great public research university. At UIC the value of access is distinguished by the precept of “Access to Excellence,” serving as the central guiding principle for higher education at UIC and for our relationships with partners and research enterprises in the great cities of the world. It follows then, that, for UIC, excellence is not a goal but a value that informs our every practice. Students must display uncommon excellence, achieved not only through formal academic measures but also through life experiences that give them the passion to succeed at UIC. Faculty must be committed to excellence in their research and scholarly pursuits and in their teaching. The university must seek excellence in planning, design, architecture, administration, and development. UIC will seek to be the leading example of the engaged university, working in partnership with the people, institutions, and businesses of Chicago and the world to achieve excellence in human, community, and urban development. In all interactions, integrity is fundamental to the excellence we seek. The culture of collaboration at UIC will encourage each of us to seek out cooperative relationships, leading to new levels of interdisciplinary scholarship, new avenues of problem solving in administration, the classroom, and the laboratory, and new approaches to intellectual and societal institution building. This culture will also contribute to new forms of collaboration with the city and the state and to collaboration with universities in other great cities of the world. Finally, UIC must distinguish itself through a culture of caring in all of our interactions. This approach of service and support will be apparent in our interactions with our students, our patients, our colleagues, our alumni, our communities, and other external constituencies.

INSTITUTIONAL STATEMENT ON ENROLLMENT MANAGEMENT

University of Illinois at Chicago views enrollment management as an institution-wide, intentional and comprehensive process which is designed to provide student access and success. While Enrollment Management is a responsibility shared

11 | P a g e


by all at UIC, the Office of Academic and Enrollment Services has been given the primary responsibility for recommending and supporting initiatives that can be aligned with and support of University-wide goals and objectives. The purpose of this plan is to maintain the quality and diversity of the student body, improve student learning and college experiences, increase student satisfaction and as a byproduct, achieve parity across retention and graduation rates by ethnicity. UIC’s ultimate measure of success is determined by the retention and success of our student in achieving their educational goals.

RESEARCH AGENDA

WHO AR E O UR CU RR EN T UN DER GR A DU AT E S TU D ENT S?

In order to manage current and future enrollment at UIC, it is essential to understand the current state of enrollment on the campus. The Final Fall 2011 Tenth Day Enrollment Census provided by Mary Lelik from the Office of Institutional Research give us a clear understanding of our enrollments by college compared to their expected targets this past enrollment cycle. Other characteristics such as five year race/ethnicity trends as well as five year enrollment trends by new and continuing; and degree and non-degree seeking students are discussed as well.

Our total campus enrollment has been healthy. For the second year in a row, UIC has reached a new record high enrollment with 27,580 students that include 16.911 undergraduate, 8,012 graduate students and 2,657 professional students. More specifically, this is the highest undergraduate enrollment since 1985 as well as record number of graduate and professional students. However, our new student enrollment for freshman was 1% below our target but our new transfer enrollment was 9% above our stated target. In addition, the overall enrollment health resulted from a 3% gain in continuing student enrollment at both graduate and undergraduate levels.

ILLINOIS STATE TRENDS

In the state of Illinois from 2010 until 2014, our in-state feeder counties on the whole will be maintaining their high school enrollments according to the Illinois State Board of Education. Cook County currently shows 9,203 graduates in 2010 and will slightly increase based on the 9th grade enrollment of that same year. Similarly, Kankakee will increase from their total number of 131high school graduates in 2010. However, these increases will not provide sufficient numbers of applicants to ensure enrollment levels or to provide the necessary enrollment growth in the next few years. UIC would be best served to target potential markets in the out-of-state areas projected to grow as well as some carefully selected international markets to begin recruitment and enrollment efforts.

NATIONAL TRENDS

For the period of 2006-2007 through to 2019-2020, the state of Illinois predicts to have a less than 5% decline in high school graduates. MO and WI predict a greater than 5% decline in high school graduates. IN predicts a less than 5% increase and Kentucky an increase between 5 – 15%.

Overall the Northeast and the Midwest are projected to have declining high school graduates by 14% and 7% respectively by 2019-2020 but the west and south will experience a 9% and 12% increase respectively.

Ethnically, by 2020, high school graduates will decline for whites by 13%, Blacks by 2% and Native American or Alaska Natives by 2%. However, Asian or Pacific Islanders will increase by 39% and Hispanic will increase by 60%.

INTERNATIONAL TRENDS

The information below is provided via the Institute of International Education and provide a reference to the changing landscape for international student enrollment here in the U.S. as well as where U.S. students are seeking to study abroad. Both of these have shown a marked increase since 2006-2007.

As we look toward increased efforts in this area, it should be noted that the top three countries where U.S. institutions have experienced increases from those students enrolling here in the U.S. are China, India and South Korea. However, the countries which have shown the most recent significant increase in sending students are Saudi Arabia (43% increase), China (23% increase), Iran (18.9% increase), Vietnam (13.5%) and Venezuela (10.8% increase). The countries that are showing recent declines are Japan (-14.3%), Kenya (-13.3%), Nepal (-8.3%), Taiwan (-7.0%) and Columbia (-6.7%).

According to the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA), international students are a large part of the IL economy and are already represented in our college student population. International students contributed an estimated $869.2 million to our state’s economy in 2009-2010. Illinois is ranked #5 in the U.S. for the number of international students in its colleges and universities. UIC has the third largest number of international students enrolled in the state of IL. Students came from the following countries to study in IL for 2009-2010: 1. China, 2. India, 3. South Korea, 4. Taiwan and 5. Canada.

Other information represented here that leads us to believe that international recruitment would yield enrollment increases are that international student enrollment at the undergraduate level is where the growth is occurring nationally. Also, our sister campus of University of IL at Urbana – Champaign is currently ranked second for international enrollment; therefore, the University of IL already has a significant reputation in the global education world and therefore, would provide UIC with some initial name recognition.

In addition, the state of Illinois is currently ranked 5th in U.S. destinations for international students to study. Therefore, we already have a significant pool of students who have considered IL as a location in which to study. This pool of students has a level of familiarity with the state and its surroundings and they find our location appealing.

RETENTION AND GRADUATION TRENDS IN RELATION TO STATE AND PUBLIC IL COMPARABLE INSTITUTIONS

As of 2010 UIC has obtained a 54.5% graduation rate and an 82% one year retention rate. This is up from a 42.9% graduation rate in 1996. Our one year retention is up from a low of 76% in 2003.

In 2009 a report was completed showing how our retention and graduation rates compared to various universities. The following is a sample of some of these institutions rates:

Public/Private University 1 yr ret. Rate 6 yr grad. Rate Illinois State University 83 65 Northern Illinois University 78 52 Southern Illinois Univ. Carbondale 70 46 Univ. of Illinois – Springfield 72 56 Univ. of Illinois – Urbana-Champaign 93 82 Western Illinois University 72 57 Bradley University 89 76 DePaul University 84 62 Elmhurst College 85 67 Illinois Institute of Technology 86 67 Lake Forest College 81 69

UIC 79 50

After reviewing these institutions and in consideration of our own population, the goal of 86% first year retention and 65% graduation rates are thought to be obtainable.

EN R O L L M E N T EX P E C T A T I O N S

Because of the issues highlighted within the preceding section and to meet the expectations of the Chancellor’s overarching goal that UIC foster diversity and a more global perspective, it is concluded that the pursuit if academically prepared students and specifically underrepresented students population from around the nation and the globe are necessary recruitment developments. As such, the Academic and Enrollment Services, in coordination with its enrollment partners across the university, will set strategic enrollment goals and strategies to support this vision.

C A M P U S EN R O L L M E N T TA R G E T S

All enrollment targets are set by the individual colleges at UIC since these targets and final enrollments drive the level of financial support they expect to receive each year. The following represents the stated targets by college for the fall 2012:

Goal #3: Increase the percentage of new out of-state undergraduate students. Rationale 1: As the state of IL projects a decline or low increase in high school graduates through 2020 and the reduction in state funding increases, UIC aims to focus on other revenue generating streams to fill the budget gap. It is important to focus on geographical locations where we might be able to attract academically qualified students who would be likely to attend UIC. This will improve geographical diversity of the student body, assure a larger pool of applicants that, in turn, should solidify the University’s ability to yield the appropriate size class and tuition revenue to ensure that UIC will continue to provide the quality education. A geographically diverse student body will also ensure that we receive greater national name recognition for our educational quality and accomplishments.

PROPOSED UIC RECRUITMENT AND YIELD CAMPAIGN 2012-2013 ASSESSING UIC’S RECRUITMENT AND YIELD EFFORT RECRUI TMENT THEOR Y A ND PRA CTICES The recruitment funnel, where a high number of inquiries of prospective students from numerous entry points narrows to and moves toward application and ultimately a smaller number of matriculated students, is at the foundation of the college-recruiting theory. This funneling process is aided by recruitment efforts designed to move the prospect from casual interest to enrolling. The process is starting earlier and lasting longer. The inputs of a large number of inquiries result in a less but measurable number of applications, which ultimately yields a smaller number of enrollees. Database management, programmed marketing, and audience segmentation are designed to keep prospects engaged and moving through the funnel. Each contact should have a specific action-oriented, measurable task. A goal early in the funnel is to encourage a visit, while a later goal will be to have an applicant commit to attend. Mail, telephone, electronic media, and personal contact are used to move the student from initial contact to matriculation.

Publications are added at strategic times to inform and persuade. Analyzing demographic data, constructing surveys to measure attitude and preferences, use of geo-demographic tools, and evaluating the efficacy of recruitment practices could allow UIC to focus more personal attention on the prospective student.

Acknowledging that no one communication strategy will work with prospective students, our practices will seek to individualize the process by targeting prospects utilizing research and data that explains how students make college choice decisions. Students have become sophisticated consumers: they comb through massive quantities of direct mail, explore Internet websites, visit colleges, and even hire private counselors to help them research their choices.

The most effective recruiting practices and strategies employed are visits to high schools in primary target areas by staff members of the admissions office, interaction on the Internet, hosting campus visits with prospective students, and, in partnership with the financial aid office, offering merit-based scholarships. Live presentations by college personnel for prospective students at high schools and on-campus visits at colleges are practices that are considered strong inducements in choosing a college. The presence of friendliness, accessibility of faculty members, and attitude of administrative officials during the campus visit are highly valued. These are used regularly and are considered very effective strategies.

Secondary and less effective college recruitment practices are visits to secondary target areas; college fairs and nights; using alumni to recruit; hosting off-campus meetings or social events for high school counselors; multimedia presentations; billboard, print, or broadcast advertising; and school promotional videos.

Use of direct mail has continued to increase as written communication continues to increase. Names are purchased that fit criteria selected by the admissions office, such as geographical location, academic performance, and past number of applicants, admits, and enrollees.

Many private four-year colleges send eight or more written communications to prospective students. Analytical techniques and market research tools allow institutions to effectively target direct mail, off-campus visits and receptions, telemarketing, and financial aid awards.

32 | P a g e


IN FLU EN CIN G COLLEGE CHOI CE Yield is the percentage of those accepted by institutions that actually matriculate. The factors that influence a student’s decision to matriculate become extremely subjective at the yield stage. These factors often differ vastly from those initially used to select schools to which to apply (such as prestige, academic programs, school size, etc.) When deciding where to matriculate, students essentially want to know, “Will I be successful here?”

Studies in higher education indicate that once a student knows what schools they have been admitted to, they want to know more about what a “day in the life” would be like at UIC versus other colleges:

Academic life. Students care more about the learning experience (who teaches my classes? are the professors good or boring?) than specific types of research efforts, which is information that tends to be more important to graduate students. Academic quality is "very important" to deciding where to attend college. The academic reputation of the institution continues to be—as it has been for decades—the factor considered most important by the largest percentages of students in college choice.

Finances. High proportions of students also rate affordability factors as very important suggesting that cost concerns are very much on the mind of students.

Social life. Students want to know the depth and breadth of recreational opportunities on campus. They want to be assured that this will be a good environment for making friends. They want to know that there are critical masses of those who are supportive of their identity and the communities from which they come.

Everyday living on campus. Students want to be assured that they will not be saddled with difficult or inconvenient living situations.

Reasons and the percentage cited as “very important” in influencing a student’s decision to attend are listed from highest to lowest:

1. College has very good academic reputation: 63.6 percent 2. This college's graduates get good jobs: 56.5 percent* 3. I was offered financial assistance: 44.7 percent 4. The cost of attending this college: 41.6 percent* 5. A visit to the campus: 41.4 percent 6. Wanted to go to a college about this size: 39.8 percent 7. College has a good reputation for social activities: 39.3 percent 8. Grads get into good grad/professional schools: 34.6 percent 9. Wanted to live near home: 20.1 percent 10. Information from a website: 19.2 percent 11. Parents wanted me to go to this school: 18.8 percent 12. Rankings in national magazines: 18.5 percent 13. Admitted early decision and/or early action: 12.9 percent 14. Could not afford first choice: 12.2 percent 15. High school counselor advised me: 10.3 percent 16. Not offered aid by first choice: 8.9 percent* 16. Athletic department recruited me: 8.9 percent 18. Attracted by religious affiliation/orientation of college: 7.8 percent 18. My teacher advised me: 7.8 percent

33 | P a g e


20. My relatives wanted me to come here: 7.3 percent 21. Private college counselor advised me: 3.6 percent 22. Ability to take online courses: 2.7 percent

* released by CIRP 2009 Freshman Survey

Studies also indicate that students consistently state that the campus visit is what convinced them to matriculate at their respective college or university. It was during the campus visit that they discovered information that is usually not in written form. What is it about the campus visits that can reveal to us what drives matriculation?

Making the Decision to Enroll. Essentially the decision to matriculate comes down to a cost/benefit decision: Do the benefits gained from matriculating at UIC outweigh the costs? Factors driving cost include such things as: Hard Costs: Tuition/Fees (minus financial aid), book supplies, travel expenses, living expenses

Soft Costs: Perceived “cost” of lost options (such as attending another institution), “cost” of distance from friends and family, etc.

Factors driving benefits include such things as: • Results of going to college at UIC: Prestige conferred alumnae/i connections, increased earning power, and access

to careers. • The college experience: Academic quality, social life, enriching student life experience.

Of these cost and benefit drivers, the decision factors we can influence are the ones around the college experience. Knowing this, we know our yield efforts must:

1. Help admits articulate decision-making criteria. 2. Reframe inaccurate perceptions with first-hand experience and accurate information. 3. Convince admits from certain target populations that UIC fits with their decision-making criteria.

In the past, outreach efforts did not begin until early-to mid-January. We’ve done both off-campus receptions and on-campus events to various degrees of success. Because of limited resources and on-campus personnel support for yield programs, the 2010-2011 campaign revealed a need to assign the many yield efforts to a designated staff member to assist in the coordination with the Events Coordinator. It also exposed the need to plan and start the yield effort earlier. There is a continued need for the Admissions Office to reconfigure, design, and implement a Recruitment/Yield Strategic Model at an earlier stage in the academic year, particularly due to the staff commitments to admission evaluation and a growing applicant pool. A preliminary Outreach/Yield calendar will be distributed to the UIC campus community in mid-August 2012.

S I T U A T I O N A L C O N S T R A I N T S F O R T H E 2012-2013 UIC Y I E L D C A M P A I G N

There are a number of situational constraints that will affect our ability to implement our 2012 Recruit/Yield Campaign. Timing. The yield effort ideally begins early in the application process, with convincing prospective students from the target populations to apply, based on regional strategic planning. Scrutiny of resources. In light of a tight budget environment, there is strong scrutiny of money and resources spent on admissions outreach efforts. We will want to see a strong “return on investment” in terms of meeting or exceeding yield campaign goals, in exchange for dedicating money and staff time to yield tactical efforts. Balancing academic rigor with the undergraduate experience. Recruitment efforts are often pulled in two directions as to which UIC to present to prospective students. These are not mutually exclusive directions. There is strong pressure from internal constituencies (faculty, graduate students and administrators) to position UIC as a serious and rigorous academic institution. External constituencies (prospective students, guidance counselors, parents) appreciate hearing about the exciting research at UIC. However, information about research is rarely couched in terms of what this means for the student’s everyday undergraduate experience. Often this is information more of interest to parents. The everyday experience is what external constituencies say they want to hear more about. Distinctive identity. What prestige has UIC garnered in its existence? It is imperative to identify notable research, student accomplishments, graduation rates, graduate school admissions rates of UIC alums, distinguished faculty, etc. Defined enrollment targets. Enrollment targets are set in July by the Office of Admissions.

G O A L S, S T R A T E G I E S A N D TA C T I C S

Yield Goals. Goals (“what we aim to accomplish”) of the 2012-2013 UIC Recruit/Yield Campaign:

• Continue to meet enrollment targets. • Attract more of the top admitted students to increase academic profile. • Continue to increase numbers from traditionally underrepresented populations (increasing the ability of the

campus to reflect the population of Illinois). • Attract more top students interested in engineering, sciences, social sciences and humanities.

Yield Strategies. This is “how” we will accomplish our goals:

35 | P a g e


Leverage strategy. Integrate previously disparate tactics into a plan that coordinates efforts, leveraging them together for maximum impact. Take a “whole is greater than the sum of its parts” or “bigger picture” approach, where each event positively impacts other events by complementing another event or supporting another event. “Personal Attention” Strategy. Position UIC in prospective students’ minds as the “school that cared about me as an individual.” Demonstrate personal attention as an advantage of small scale (key aspects of the UIC experience students cite over and over) during the recruit/yield campaign. Customize key messages for the target populations in all our efforts. Whenever possible, provide opportunities for one-on-one interaction between target populations admits and people aligned with the prospect’s interests (current students, faculty, and staff). “See for Yourself” Strategy. Emphasize firsthand and virtual opportunities for students to learn more about what distinguishes UIC from other colleges or universities. Connect admitted students with current students, faculty and staff. Provide opportunities for target populations to experience academic and social life at UIC to help them make their decision to apply and to matriculate. “Let Us Help You Decide” Strategy. Take every opportunity to provide tools and guidance to help students make their decision.2 Ensure there is “a take-away” at every event Use this goodwill gesture as an opportunity to highlight aspects of UIC of which they may be unaware. Yield Projects. Given our target audience, goals, and situational constraints, this is “what we will do” for the 2012-2013 campaign:

• Improved outreach to high school and community college counselors • Enhanced school visit presentations • Improved Admit Packet • Comprehensive email campaign • In partnership with community based groups, provide presentations and workshops • Experience UIC enhanced classroom and tour program • Improve coordination with student hosted overnights • Spring Break Ambassador’s Program • More interactive peer phone and online discussions • Possible faculty phone calling, by college, to high achieving students • Customized program for students from the referral pool • Development of web-based information sessions on UIC admissions, application, personal statement, next steps,

student life, etc. • Development of Alumni-based outreach; CATS: Connecting Alumni To Students • Development of parent-oriented outreach utilizing parent ambassadors; e.g. Chancellor Receptions. • Improve assessment of yield activities (Appendix J: BRM Assessment Tools)

FINAN CI AL AI D A S A RECR UITIN G TOOL Financial aid has been increasingly used as a recruiting and marketing tool, especially for private institutions forced to compete with public institutions. Merit scholarships and non-endowed institutional funds are increasingly used to discount tuition and to make the college choice affordable. Enrollment managers are interested in net tuition income as well as in the number of students, and the leveraging of financial aid awards has become important tool to increase enrollments. Although discussions continue over the appropriate mix between need-based and merit-based financial aid, colleges and universities use institutional funds to augment federal and state grant and loan programs. Private colleges are providing financial aid to a larger share of their students, and list in their view books the price of tuition before financial aid; public tuition continues to increase, not as the result of increased costs but because of changes in state fiscal policy.

2In the corporate world, goodwill gestures such as providing a free, unexpected product or service often positively positions the company in the consumer’s mind as “on my side” and “looking out for my interest.” Translated into yield efforts, it also cements the perception of UIC as a place that cares about its students.

36 | P a g e


Institutional financial aid is used to increase enrollment goals and to change readily measurable student body characteristics. More first year college students have concerns about their ability to finance college than at any time since 1971, according to the CIRP Freshman Survey, (survey of the nation's entering students at four-year colleges and universities). Such concerns are part of an overall picture of the impact of the economic downturn on the experiences of entering college students. More than half of incoming first-time students in 2009 reported "some" concern about financing college, and more students were turning to loans to pay for college, 53.3 percent in 2009, up 3.9 percentage points from 2008 and the highest level reported in the last nine years. In addition, fewer students reported experiences in the workforce as high -school seniors, with 62.8 percent having worked, compared with 69.3 percent in 2007. Students were not unique in having difficulty finding employment: More parents of incoming first year students were also unemployed in 2009. About half (49.3 percent) of all students were planning to get jobs to pay for college.

Yield Communications Plans External Communications K E Y AU D I E N C E S

Segmental focus

The recruit/yield campaign’s principal audience is obviously the pool of admitted 2013 applicants. However, it is impractical and economically unfeasible to target all admits with more than one yield tactical effort. In implementing our 2013 Recruit/Yield Campaign, we will want to focus on specific segments of the prospective and admitted 2013 population to meet our stated goals. Within this pool, we have identified the following segments whose numbers we would like to see increased:

• Academically superior students • Students from traditionally underrepresented populations • Transfer students • Students interested in sciences and engineering • Increase number of applicants and enrolled students from the surrounding counties

Impact of influencers

Parents, counselors, peer students, and alumni can all be strong immediate influencers in helping a prospective student to make the decision to apply and enroll at UIC. It is necessary to factor in the impact that these groups can have in helping to sway a student from one of the segments identified above to matriculate at UIC. We can best utilize these groups of influencers by educating them around the issues important to them. Issues important to parents are preparation for post-college careers, financial aid, and safety. Issues important to guidance counselors are admissions requirements, academic programs, resources and support to help students succeed.

K E Y ME S S A G E S T O RE C R U I T/YI E L D A U D I E N C E S

Project Owner(s): BRM Communications Group

Description This is our targeted email campaign:

Proposed 2012 Changes:

1. Start Earlier with a Group of High-Achieving Applicants 2. February 2 – Email from Admissions Director to all applicants by region, letting them know to expect further e-

mails and introducing UIC and the admissions Reps. 3. February 4 – Email to PAP Scholars from XX 4. February 2 – Letter on nice stationery from Chancellor to top applicants, content to be determined. 5. February 4 – Letter on nice stationery from Dean Bottoms to top applicants, presenting various “honors” and

enrichment opportunities. 6. March 7 – Faculty begin calling high-achieving students 7. Boost Academic Content by Sending Emails to Undeclared applicants 8. Can be sent approximately by March 2. 9. Increase College Emails by Approaching the Colleges Early 10. Cari should plan to send memo all colleges by December 18, asking them to participate and including a sample e-

mail from last year. Deadline for responding will be January 9. 11. Improve Email Readability by Imposing a Word Count Limit 12. Emails will be limited to 400 words (without related links), the average length of a single-spaced, one-page letter. 13. Improve efficiency by moving up draft deadlines 14. The call for 2012 drafts of last year’s emails will be on December 18, the same day as the college call for new

emails. 15. Encourage Transfer SIRs by contacting them earlier with better information 16. A Transfer email on March 23.

Other Proposed Changes:

1. Email to Admits from February 30 can include information about Open House, Inside UIC, Experience UIC, Highlight UIC, Transfer Day, etc.

Staff Resources and Time Commitments Cari will principally coordinate this project. A nominal amount of time will be required from various campus departments to help with writing the emails.

Expenditures $XXXX for additional Apply Yourself slots required to reach the larger pool of applicants, versus only contacting admits. There will be a considerable savings on print and postage from moving from paper to electronic campaign, and utilizing BRM Evaluations and Metrics BRM assessments

Project Owner(s): Office of Admissions Description UIC Ambassadors Program recruits and trains current students to go back to their high schools and community colleges and present UIC to prospective students and admits during Spring Break (middle of the yield season). This is an excellent yield program as it provides a unique peer-based interaction in the context of bringing the UIC experience to the field.

Date(s): March 2013

Staff Resources and Time Commitments Admission Staff – Coordinator for the program. Field admissions representatives will also lend their help wherever needed.

Faculty and Administrative Staff – Minimal involvement, mostly helping to recruit students and referring prospective Ambassadors to the Admissions Office.

Students – Current UIC students comprise the staff of this project.

Expenditures The 2012-13 estimated budgets reflect the additional cost of this initiative. Below is the estimated 2012-13 Student Ambassadors budget.

2012 (Est.) Gift Certificates $2,000.00 Printing Services 60.00 Training/Catering 120.00 Graphic Services 30.00 Miscellaneous 100.00

48 | P a g e


Total Expense $2,310.00


Evaluation.

Ambassador Evaluations – The student representatives evaluate each visit themselves, noting how long they spent at the school, how many students were met, and suggestions for improving the program. School Counselor Evaluations – The school guidance counselors give their feedback, noting the number of students met, the usefulness of the visit, any individual benefits for the students observed, the usefulness of publications brought in, and the opportunity to suggest changes or improvements.

For the 2012-13 Yield Campaign, we would also like to add participant evaluation component. It is important that we receive feedback from the prospective students themselves, to ferret out what information we can present to them that will be most relevant. The evaluation will also help us rate the effectiveness of this year’s efforts and determine more accurately the mix of prospective students vs. admitted students that attend the Ambassador presentations, which will shape next year’s Ambassador training program.

Metrics.

Evaluations will be in the form of Likert scales questions (“You learned more about UIC” strongly agree/agree/neutral/disagree/ strongly disagree.) Looking to measure attitude change about UIC and the effectiveness of the information presented.

Ambassador Program Timeline: January 2013 Develop recruit plan for student applications to the Ambassadors

Program Send out letters to deans, department heads and other key people around campus encouraging them to help us recruit students who they think would be good representatives of the campus for the Ambassadors Program.

APPENDIX A. INCREASE THE NUMBER OF UNDERGRADUATE INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS IN THE UNIVERSITY

The Office Academic and Enrollment Services and the Office of International Services shall collaborate on a strategic recruitment plan. The goals are stated in the initial International Programs document.

Goals • Enhance the academic profile of UIC students, • Create a richer and more diverse student body and elevate the awareness of the University community about

international issues, • Enhance the reputation of the University at the international level, • Generate additional revenue.

Proposed Methodology:

• Use international fairs focused on undergraduates, e.g. ECIS, AIEF and Linden, • take advantage of our location and visit Embassies to recruit scholarship students, e.g. Saudi Arabia, UAE, and

Chile • advertise in selected publications, e.g. AIEF which focuses on Taiwan, South Korea and China, • use membership activities, e.g. ECIS, and College Board, • take advantage of strong alumni groups, and overseas advising centers, such as Recruit USA in US Embassies, • actively recruit international students locally (e.g., students from Korea, India and Thailand in Cook and DuPage

Counties) and encourage them to reach out to their relatives abroad, • send marketing materials to US Education Advising Centers worldwide, • attend regional conferences of State Department Advisors (Africa, Europe and Eurasia in 2007 and East Asia in

2008), • update Admissions website to encourage international student participation, • leverage international travel of faculty and staff.

Scholarship Funding: To be resolved:

• a specific pool of funds for international student scholarships; • discounting tuitions up to a certain amount for a certain number of international students; if tuition generated

funding is used; a change in current financial aid policy is needed. Proposed Staffing: Estimate, ballpark: 2 full time staff members

Proposed Budget: Estimate, ballpark: $80,000 for trips and related expenses General Issues:

• Must be able to accommodate the academic needs of the applicants, most demand for Engineering, Sciences, Business, and Arts;

• must require SATs or ACTs; • must have staff that can return to the same geographic areas for follow-up and must be able to utilize the

infrastructure of the University to assist in recruiting; • must have a 3 – 5 year funding commitment in order to achieve significant growth; • a prime target will be international high schools in the targeted countries or Thailand, South Korea, Malaysia,

Japan, Singapore, Taiwan, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, Mexico, Brazil, Argentina and Chile. India and Saudi Arabia and other MENA region countries should be added to the list.

General Implementation Issue: Once strategy and funding are identified, work with the EducationUSA/U.S. State Department to promote our efforts as a part of the marketing strategy.

Information from other institutions and organizations - FYI.

Georgetown University. Undergraduate nonresident recruiting budget, $50,000 for trips only. 2 trips a year with consortia of other schools, Columbia, Harvard, Duke, Princeton, Stanford and U. Penn. 2 staff members handle all recruitment and follow-up. Receives approximately 1000 applicants each year from abroad, enrolls 80 to 100 international freshman from a class of 1600, or 6%. Has a $200,000 full scholarship which covers 5 full scholarships at Georgetown. Michigan State University. Undergraduate nonresident recruiting budget, c. $80,000 for travel. Do not recruit in China, undergraduate market too large and too confused at this time. Have not done discounting. Have been successful with individual recruiting (not on tours) in some Latin American countries. Ohio State University. Undergraduate nonresident recruiting budget, $50,000 for 2 trips a year; 4 full-time staff. Scholarship budget of $132,000 for 20 students at $6600 per student. Recruit in China, Malaysia, India and Taiwan; just began undergraduate recruiting 2 years ago. Are recruiting in the U.S. for international transfer and high school students. Had 90 undergraduate international freshmen this fall, 1/2 are from within the U.S. Oregon State University. Undergraduate nonresident recruiting budget, $60,000. Have $250,000 set aside for Oregon Plan, students receive in-state tuition for service to the State. Most students provide service in local schools. We believe this is a line-item from the State Budget. Penn State University. Undergraduate nonresident recruiting budget, $80,000. Only uses ECIS because they only focus on undergraduates. 1 full-time staff member oversees the recruitment but others on staff travel as well. Visit many international high schools because the clientele are paying high fees and understand the finances involved with sending students overseas. Over 5 years their undergraduate population has increased by 200-300 students. Purdue University. Undergraduate nonresident recruiting budget, $100,000. Third largest international population among public schools in the country. Emphasis on China, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Turkey, India, and Western Europe and has found good potential in Latin America. Use CIS and Linden tours, and some independent recruitment. 7 full-time staff handles international recruitment, 5 of them also responsible for credentials review. Merit scholarships are available to international students. International students will have access to all new donor scholarships. University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Undergraduate nonresident recruiting budget, $15,000. International recruitment effort began in 2006 with visits to Shanghai, Hong Kong and Singapore. Goal: increase undergraduate international population from 1%-2%. 1 full-time staff member oversees recruitment and file review. Participate in Davis United World College Scholars Program—12 high schools worldwide are sponsored by entrepreneur, Shelby Davis. Academically talented, low-income students who attend these schools receive $10,000/year toward college costs. Partner universities are invited to recruit these students and typically cover the remaining college costs. The program provides $5,000 to participating institutions to help fund international travel. Merit scholarship funds are available to international students. University of Texas, Austin. Does no international recruiting and have no separate funds for scholarships. Reserve 2% of freshman class for international students, includes special Texan international students. The College Board. CB started a project with China in 2006 that has two areas of emphasis: implementing Chinese language courses in American high schools, and identifying talented moderate income students from targeted high schools in Shanghai and match them with interested U.S. colleges. Current partner universities include Harvard, Brown, Penn, Northwestern, Williams and UNC Chapel Hill. Michigan and UT Austin initially expressed interest, but were unable to generate scholarship funding needed to support students. Georgetown and UVa will join next year and UM has recently been invited to participate. Partnership involves visits to high schools to interview students and reviews of high school

records to determine student eligibility, and a commitment of scholarship funding for students. Issues specific to undergraduate recruitment in China:

• Higher education is virtually free, but is reserved only for the top 15% of students. • The next 10% of students generally attend what we would consider vocational schools post secondary school. • Remaining students have no in-country options. Many of these students are very strong academically and are

looking for international education experiences. • Most Chinese students have some awareness of U.S. high education, but the knowledge is general with specific

institution knowledge of the following institutions, Harvard, Princeton, Yale and Stanford. • Currently, the Chinese government disallows external testing of their students, so students travel to Hong Kong

to take the SAT. • College Board is working with confidence on changing this for the students identified in the targeted high schools,

so the SAT can be administered locally. Implementation as of Fall 2012 and Results The University of Illinois at Chicago has not had a comprehensive plan to recruit domestic nonresident or international nonresident students for many years. Stand-alone programs have existed but not been integrated into the enrollment management plan. The result is that for the fall 2011 approximately 3% of undergraduate enrollment is comprised of out-of-state and international students. The following are a list of recruitment markets and new initiatives to reach nonresident students, with a goal of seeing a 1% increase for each entering fall class from 2013 through 2021. Given the required lead-time for this population, and lack of any prior efforts, effects on the fall 2012 class will be casual at best. Markets Academic and Enrollment Services (AES) has identified the following regions in which to emphasize recruitment: Primary international markets: Middle East North Africa (MENA) Western Pacific Rim (South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, and South East Asia). Europe Secondary international markets include: China India South Africa Key U.S. nonresident markets include: Illinois – all border states Los Angeles Seattle Houston Dallas Baltimore Region (including Washington D.C.) New Immediate Initiatives Lewis & Clark Community College (reaching SE Illinois & St. Louis area), March 7, 2012. College Recruiters attending. Upcoming National Association for College Admission Counseling (NACAC) College Fairs that UIC is considering attending this Spring include Louisville, Metro Detroit, West Michigan, Dallas/Ft. Worth, San Francisco, Cleveland, New Jersey, San Diego, Nashville & Greater Los Angeles.

APPENDIX A.1. UIC- BRIDGE PROGRAM - DRAFT The UIC-BRIDGE Program may offer alternative admission pathways for undergraduate and professional graduate international students upon approval of the department or college. Each UIC College/School/Department can choose to take advantage of this admissions pathway or not. This “bridge” admissions process simply allows a College/School/Department to have a response beyond a simple yes or no. The Office of Admissions will track the College/School/Department’s preference in order to craft a list of which College/School/Departments will consider “Bridge” admissions for the next admissions cycle for messaging. The UIC-BRIDGE Program is an option for academically strong international students who wish to study at UIC, but are unable to satisfy some of the University’s entrance requirements without first completing additional studies. Students are admitted to UIC in a “bridge” capacity to an undergraduate or graduate professional school/program and may be required to first enroll in the UIC-BRIDGE ESL program. Students may stay in the program for a maximum of three sessions. While UIC has had the ability to admit well-qualified international students who have needed additional time to provide better TOEFL scores or to complete full pre-admissions testing requirements, through the UIC-BRIDGE Program we will formalize the option to offer what had been called “conditional admission” to UIC. The UIC-BRIDGE Program for international students allows students with TOEFL scores between 480-549 (paper based), or 54-78 (Internet based) to begin taking a full-time ESL courses to improve academic English skills before entering into full-time regular university study in their respective colleges and majors. Students who successfully complete the one-, two-, or three-semester-long course sequence may enter into full-time study in their academic majors beginning the following summer or fall, if they met the 550 TOFEL minimum score required and any other requirements set forth by the department/college. The UIC–BRIDGE Program Intensive English component is housed at the UIC Tutorium in Intensive English (TIE), which enrolls students from more than 30 countries who study in small classes designed to meet their diverse language backgrounds and learning styles. Classes focus on improving students' listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills through an integrated course approach that develops students' fluency in the English language. How does the UIC-BRIDGE Program Work? “Conditional admission” based on UIC-BRIDGE completion may be offered to students who do not fully meet the qualifications for regular admission. Applications will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis taking the student's academic criteria into consideration. If a student is “conditionally admitted” to the UIC-BRIDGE ESL Program, they will register for UIC’s intensive English program (for a maximum of three sessions). Upon successful completion of the advanced level of UIC’s ESL program, the student will be moved into a full-time degree program. Qualified students enter the UIC-BRIDGE Program in the fall and should plan to remain in the program for their first academic year at UIC, taking full advantage of the opportunity to focus on improving their English proficiency in preparation for full-time regular academic study. The bridge program’s ESL course sequence provides a solid foundation in academic English so that upon successful completion of the ESL course work, students are better prepared to meet the challenges of full-time academic studies in their chosen disciplines (majors). NOTE: Detailed program will be developed over next several months to include more information concerning undergraduate alternative admission pathways.

APPENDIX C: AFRICAN AMERICAN RECRUITMENT AND ENROLLMENT INITIATIVE (AAREI)

The University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) desires to be representative of the people of IL and its surrounding area within its undergraduate student population. To bring us closer to this aspiration with the African American Community, we seek to maintain and further develop strong relationships with churches; community action agencies; pre-college programs; and civil, social and fraternal organizations. We hope to work with students and families affiliated with these organizations to provide information on UIC, how to choose a college, financial aid resources and advice

AFRICAN AMERICAN SCHOOL IDENTIFICATION AND OUTCOMES

Academic and Enrollment Services has identified and currently track our recruitment results and enrollment outcomes for targeted schools that are known sources for our highly qualified African American students. The schools within this group have been identified because it is clear that our yield from our recruitment efforts could be dramatically improved with a targeted imitative and regular monitoring of our progress. The following are the identified schools and key metrics by which we are following our success.

TARGETED BRM COMMUNICATIONS FOR AFRICAN AMERICAN STUDENTS Similar to our overall communication enhancements AES in partnership with AAAN to developed targeted yield messages for the class entering in 2012. Three such communications/events have been developed to improve our yield with this specific group of students. They are:

1. Invitation to Hoop It Up Basketball event, held Friday, February 3rd – sent on January 24 to 462 admitted applicants who had indicated African American as a race code.

2. Congratulations email to admitted African American applicants introducing them to AAAN. This is a communication that has been sent by AAAN in prior years, and we are bringing it into the BRM communications streams for the fall 2012 class. We have recorded 359 interactions for mail already sent, and the BRM Version will pick up that communications stream when it launches this week.

3. Approximately 6 days before each Orientation Session throughout the summer, an email invitation will be sent to the African American students attending that orientation session to invite them to stop by AAAN while on campus to learn more about their services and meet the staff.

(Please note that the population selection for all of the communications above includes all applicants who have indicated a race of African American, regardless of any other race/ethnicity information the applicant provided. There is no hierarchy used, so the numbers are often a little higher than our admissions reports might indicate for admitted African Americans.)

Additional communication items targeted at the AA admitted student population has been:

1. Admitted African American applicants were part of the population invited to the Presidents’ Preview Day held on February 20.

2. Those who qualify are receiving the PAP communications.

South Suburban Initiative This initiative lead by Academic and Enrollment Services (AES) in coordination with the Urban Health Program targets several strategic high schools in this designated region of the Chicagoland area. AES and Urban Health work with the principals and counselors of the targeted high schools on college readiness; provide feedback to schools on the performance of their enrolled student populations; provide speakers to address study skills, role-modeling activities and general preparation for health careers.

Schools have been selected based on the number of applications we received compared to the number of college bound students enrolled at the school as well as our admitted student to enrolled student conversion rate. Schools that show the greatest potential for increased applications as well as potential for UIC to improve the admitted student yield are most likely to be included in this population.

Students in these schools are highly encouraged to participate in our summer college program and because of the academic talent a good number will also be the recipients of PAP or PAP Honors. Through the combination of the newly structured PAP program that has greatly enhanced to dollar value of this award and the targeted initiative in these south suburban schools it is our goal to improve the numbers and quality of students that we currently enroll at UIC from them.

76 | P a g e


BLACK CHURCHES/COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS INITIATIVE

To accomplish this goal these Initiatives were launched this year. This initiative seeks to engage several identified churches serving the black community of Chicagoland area with the intent to partner with them to identify and enroll more students from within these communities. The project will involve the administration, faculty, staff and students of UIC in a dialogue to the urban church leadership. The dialogue will assess their present knowledge base, thoughts and experiences of counseling church members for education opportunities beyond secondary school level.

The results from this dialogue will inform the design and implementation of training sessions for black pastors and church leaders to increase their knowledge of tertiary education and the contemporary best practice counseling options.

It is expected that working from an improved knowledge base these leaders will:

1. Enhance their support of membership and their families by making informed and appropriate referrals to the best match university.

2. Be better prepared to support education plans of members increasing members’ options and educational outcomes.

3. Develop an open attitude towards promoting or sponsoring outreach activities from their churches to their communities on contemporary educational options beyond high school.

4. Understand and use language to describe higher education and its multi-levels that will maximize the attaining of both undergraduate and professional degrees.

5. Document the increase of church members attending a college or university within one year of completing high school.

The first church to embrace this initiative with UIC was the New Faith Community Church and their pastor, Rev. Dr. Trunell D. Felder (see document below). We are in the process of outreach and conversations with other churches that we hope will further develop this important outreach that is an essential component to our over arching campus goals.

APPENDIX D: PAP AND PAP HONORS OUTREACH AND YIELD

A SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM FOR CAMPUS DIVERSITY The President’s Award Program (PAP) is the most prestigious scholarships given by the University of Illinois. The President’s Award Program was created in 1985 to identify and award students graduating from Illinois high schools who have demonstrated outstanding academic performance and who represent the rich diversity of the State of Illinois.

At the University of Illinois at Chicago, the President’s Award scholarship is offered as an expression of our genuine interest in having these talented students join the UIC community. The PAP award is merit-based and starts at $5,000 per year as determined by the categories of PAP Scholars and PAP Honors. The scholarship is available for a maximum of four years (eight semesters).

Eligibility consideration is based on a combination of ACT composite score, class rank and one of the criteria: high-achieving newly admitted freshmen from historically underrepresented groups; high- achieving newly admitted students from low-sending Illinois counties defined as counties sending an average of two or fewer students per academic year to the University of Illinois in the past five year period; and high-achieving newly admitted dependent students whose families are not expected to contribute to the cost of their education as verified through FAFSA and financial aid application processes are eligible for consideration for the PAP award. Application for the award is made through the regular admissions review process; once admitted eligible students receive individual review for the President’s Award Program.

A CAMPUS-WIDE PROGRAM The President’s Award Program promotes academic excellence in collaboration with the entire UIC community. PAP Scholars will have the opportunity to participate in the Summer College Experience, the Undergraduate Research Experience (URE); study abroad opportunities and specialized seminars conducted by faculty with a focus on research and graduate and professional school preparation.

PAP Honors is a residential program and coordinated by the Honors College. Students must apply separate to the Honors College for consideration.

APPENDIX F: UNIVERSITY RANKINGS

UIC Rankings

WORLD RANKINGS

UIC placed #167 in the Times (UK) Higher Education World University Rankings 2011-12.

http://www.timeshighereducation.co.uk/world-university-rankings/2011-2012/top-400.html

We also ranked #76 in North American Universities. We are ranked just after Wake Forest University and TX A&M and just before Univ of Miami.

QS World University Rankings -- overall UIC ranks 162 (individual programs rank even higher)

http://www.topuniversities.com/institution/university-illinois-chicago-uic/wur

Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU) http://www.shanghairanking.com/Institution.jsp?param=University%20of%20Illinois%20at%20Chicago

The Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU), commonly known as the Shanghai ranking, is a publication that was founded and compiled by the Shanghai Jiaotong University to rank universities globally.[1] The rankings have been conducted since 2003 and updated annually. Since 2009, the rankings have been published by the Shanghai Ranking Consultancy.[2]

The ARWU is regarded to be one of the three most influential and widely observed international university rankings, along with the QS World University Rankings and the Times Higher Education World University Rankings. Its consistent and objective methodology is praised when compared with other rankings. However, it has also been criticized for its heavy focus on the natural sciences over the social sciences or humanities, and over the quality of instruction.[3][4]

We are ranked 96 in the world in 2003 but as of 2011 we are only in the top 200. We rank somewhere between 151 and 200. The site does not give a specific ranking when you fall above 100.

Other US Universities that fall in this 151-200 range are:

Colorado State Univ, Dartmouth, FL State Univ., George Mason, Iowa State Univ., LSU, NC State Univ., SUNY Stony Brook, U of Alabama – Birmingham, UMBC, U of Miami, U of Nebraska – Lincoln, Univ of TN, Virginia Commonwealth Univ., VA Tech.

APPENDIX I: VISITOR CENTER

VISITOR CENTER: In anticipation of the increase in recruitment efforts, the Enrollment Services division understands the need for a facility to accommodate the increase in visitations to the campus as well as our ability to put our “best foot” forward as we increase the number of perspective families evaluating us against an increasingly competitive admissions market. As such, there are on-going efforts to secure adequate space and strategically located facilities on campus to accomplish a visitor center that will serve these enrollment initiatives well.

APPENDIX J: BRM ASSESSMENT TOOLS

The Banner Relationship Management System is currently functioning with a limited number of communication campaigns to improve the strategic and required messaging used to promote a managed and smooth enrollment process for student attending UIC. This tool will enable the following:

1. Improved communications with prospective, admitted and enrolled students.

2. Improved communication among enrollment partners across campus regarding all information sent to students.

3. A more coordinated communication plan for students.

4. A system to monitor the communication flow as well as to analyze its effectiveness. (See below examples).

APPENDIX K: CHICAGO PUBLIC SCHOOLS (CPS) INITIATIVES

UIC AND CHICAGO PUBLIC SCHOOLS The relationship between the University of Illinois at Chicago and the Chicago Public Schools High School has a long and strong history. CPS is critical component of UIC’s enrollment numbers and strength of UIC’s undergraduate student body. Students from CPS represent approximately 25% of the UIC freshman class over the last ten years (See Figure 1). Some specifics about CPS and UIC:

• As an urban predominantly commuter university, it is understood that UIC primarily attracts and enrolls students from the Chicago metropolitan area, in fact 32% of the Fall 2011 freshman class had a Chicago address.

• Of those students from Chicago, 81% graduated from a CPS high school. • Of the Fall 2011 African American freshman class, 48% were from Chicago, and 82% of those students were

graduates of CPS. • UIC is a college of choice for a large number of CPS students. CPS research using National Student Clearinghouse

data indicate that UIC is the number one four-year college of enrollment (recipient) of CPS graduates. • Just over 50% of UIC’s new freshman applications come from CPS students and about 40% of the freshman class

is CPS alumni. • Recruiting for the Fall 2011 term, UIC Office of Admissions Recruitment staff visited 235 high schools for a total

of 421 recruitment visits. Thirty percent of the high schools were CPS high schools and 33% of the total visits were to CPS high schools.

• In Fall 2011, 39% of the African American President’s Award Program Scholarship recipients were graduates of CPS .

2010 College Enrollment Information - Chicago Public Schools

CPS has been tracking the postsecondary outcomes of its graduates since 2004. The Chicago Public Schools (CPS) college enrollment rate is calculated using data acquired from the National Student Clearinghouse. The National Student Clearinghouse is a not-for-profit corporation that serves as a national, central depository of information on postsecondary student enrollment, degrees and diplomas. The college enrollment rate is the percent of CPS graduates who enrolled in college by November 1st of that same year — the standard timeframe used to calculate national college enrollment statistics. Schools are included in this report if they had graduates for a given year. Data for schools that had 10 or less students enroll in college are marked in this file but their data is not shown. CPS does not publicly report categories in which there are 10 or less students.

AVID SCHOOL INITIATIVE

UIC AES Office has partnered with the AVID program within CPS to work more collaboratively during the year in ways that would result in increased enrollment from this cohort of students. AVID 9th grade student enrollment within CPS is approximately 6.1% of the total student population or 1,834 students based on the 2011-2012 CPS data.

The AVID program is modeled after the 1990’s University of California System Pre-Admission Conference for top High School Juniors throughout California. Ron Raglin, the CPS AVID District Director, attended these annually with his top AVID Junior Scholar Students. Each year many of these outstanding junior standing students received “Guaranteed Admissions” or “Conditional Acceptance” into at least one of the University of California System schools.

The mission of the AVID program is to close the achievement gap by preparing all students for college readiness and success in a global society. The program provides academic support structures for students performing in the academic middle (primarily 4-6 ISAT stanine scores)

In 2010, UIC enrolled was the third ranked college for receiving AVID program graduates which represented 3.3% (19 students) of their total AVID graduates enrolled in college. As this program looks to expand within the CPS system, UIC believes that a more developed relationship with the students in this program and yield greater enrollment of these college prepared students.

APPENDIX M: CITY COLLEGE: GUARANTEED ADMISSIONS TRANSFER (GAT) PROGRAM

The University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) and the City Colleges of Chicago (CCC) recently signed an agreement designed to promote student success in transitioning from the City Colleges of Chicago to UIC. The GAT program guarantees a CCC student’s admission to a participating UIC baccalaureate program upon transfer from the CCC. These students must meet all of the requirements of the program. The first cohort of students enrolled at UIC in the fall of 2011.

GAT PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS

Program Requirements

a. For a maximum of 210 GAT Program students enrolled at and of the City Colleges of Chicago and an expected average of 30 students per college, UIC agrees to guarantee admission each fall to participating UIC baccalaureate degree programs in the following colleges: Liberal Arts and Sciences, Business Administration, Engineering, and Education.

b. GAT Program students are required to maintain a minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.00 on a 4.00 grading scale on all transferrable course work taken at the City Colleges of Chicago. Only student completing all of their college course work at a CCC college are eligible to participate.

c. GAT Program students are expected to enroll at CCC full time (12 or more semester hours) each semester in course work that meets UIC transfer requirements toward the intended baccalaureate degree or is a prerequisite for UIC requirements.

d. GAT Program students are expected to attend GAT-sponsored activities on the UIC campus prior to transferring.

e. GAT Program students will have access to select UIC facilities in order to participate in GAT transfer-related academic activities.

GAT Requirements for Participation

a. GAT program students are expected to complete a minimum of 24-30 transferrable credit hours and maintain a cumulative grade point average 3.0 on a 4.0 scale prior to admission to the GAT Program. Students are expected to enroll full time (12 or more semester hours) in order to participate in the GAT Program.

b. GAT Program students are expected to complete an AA or AS degree from CCC prior to transferring to UIC.

c. Courses and grades for GAT Program students will be accepted in accordance with UIC academic and transfer credit policies. Course work taken outside the City Colleges of Chicago will be evaluated for transferability to UIC.

160 | P a g e


d. Upon meeting the GAT Program requirements and graduating from a CCC College, GAT Program students will only be admitted to UIC for the applicable fall term. GAT Program admissions materials must be submitted to the UIC Managing Director of Admissions by February 15th for the following fall term.

All students’ progress and results from this initiative will be monitored on a yearly basis by AES and Admissions to determine the effectiveness of the program and how it might be improved to strengthen this academic pipeline for students.

APPENDIX O: DIVERSITY ENROLLMENT EFFORTS UIC has long held that the diversity of our students, faculty and staff, stands with ethics, integrity, and academic excellence as a cornerstone of our culture. UIC seeks to promote an inclusive and welcoming environment that embraces the full spectrum of human attributes, perspectives, and disciplines. To fully reach our potential, we absolutely need to see more underrepresented students take advantage of the educational opportunities that are before them, and to welcome them into this discussion.

The University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) seeks to grow and maintain strong bonds with our communities, including our relationships with neighborhood action agencies, pre-college programs, civil, social and fraternal organizations, as well as church communities. Working with students and families directly through these organizations we can provide access to information about higher education, financial aid resources, and advice on the college application process that could make the difference for an individual student with high aspirations and strong academic credentials.

As subsets to this overarching goal, UIC has launched several distinct initiatives to arrive at achievable diversity growth over the coming years. These activities are:

1. Engaging the Chicagoland area Church Leaders (see Appendix C of this plan)

2. Increase underrepresented undergraduate students (see page 23 of this plan)

3. Establishment of an International recruitment effort (see page 24 of this plan)

4. Establishment of a national recruitment effort (see page 25 of this plan)

Analysis of data provides the foundation upon which we have made strategic recruitment decisions. The following reports represent the analysis for the African American subgroup of underrepresented students. The first report enables us to better understand our strongest competitors and after careful consideration of their communication, financial aid structures, etc., the reasons for our loss of students to them and how we might better compete. The second report demonstrates our feeder high schools as well as secondary and tertiary schools that we might strategically target for segments of students. The final report demonstrates the students we rejected and where they ultimately enrolled. This also helps to understand our admissions standards versus other institutions and any future adjustments to it that we might consider in order for us to obtain our enrollment targets and institutional goals. Similar reports are created and analyzed to support our yearly recruitment strategies.

APPENDIX Q: HISPANIC AND LATINO INITIATIVES In November of 2011 New Futuro [http://www.newfuturo.com/] hosted a college expo at the UIC Forum. The Office of Admissions, LARES, and UIC Community Relations participated. The program was very heavily publicized in Chicago's Latino community and over 5,000 people attended. In the future, UIC will be looking to partner with New Futuro to possibly host their events as part of our recruitment activities. To assist us with our national recruitment effort, UIC will also work with New Futuro in a series of college expos across the nation. The programs and dates are as follows: Los Angeles, CA – September 29, 2012 Houston, TX – October 6, 2012 New York, NY – October 20, 2012 Miami, FL – October 27, 2012 Chicago, IL – November 10, 2012 Dallas, TX – TBD In addition, UIC will be featured in the New Futuro Magazine, the Decide, Plan, Act. Tabloid, their summit program book and will have featured impressions on the NewFuturo.com website. .
