OVERVIEW
The Office of New Student Recruitment engages in the recruitment
of all domestic traditional, transfer, and nontraditional students by
developing marketing materials, coordinating campus visitation
programs, tele-counseling, and participating in various outreach
activities. The office participates in the development of new
student markets and assists with the coordination of New Student
Orientation. The office also assists the College’s dual credit program,
which is administered by Community Programs.
OUTREACH ACTIVITIES
Students are recruited from selected high schools and community
colleges in Idaho, Oregon and Washington. Staff members also
represent the College at a variety of community-based events and
regional businesses.
CAMPUS VISITATIONS
The Office of New Student Recruitment coordinates campus
visitations for prospective domestic students. A visitation may
include a campus tour, meeting with a faculty advisor, attending
a class, staying overnight in the residence halls, participating in
campus events, and meeting with an enrollment advisor. Special
visitations are also available for larger groups of students with
common interests or objectives. Students are encouraged to schedule
a visitation at least two weeks in advance and during the academic
school year. High school students are also encouraged to participate
in Warrior Discovery Day.
WARRIOR DISCOVERY DAY
High school students can personally experience LCSC by
participating in “Warrior Discovery Day.” This program allows
students to experience life on campus by meeting current students
and faculty advisors and checking out campus activities available
to them. Discovery Day is a day-long event which includes large
group activities, an information session for parents, lunch, and a
tour of campus and the residence halls.
STUDENT SHADOWS
Prospective students interested in Professional-Technical programs
in the Technical & Industrial Division are encouraged to schedule
a student shadow in one of the live labs as part of their visitation.
The shadow provides students the opportunity to see firsthand what
the programs have to offer. Students will tour their program(s) of
choice and meet with current students and instructors.
PROFESSIONAL-TECHNICAL PREVIEW DAY
This half day recruitment event, spotlights the Professional-
Technical programs for high school students, teachers and
counselors. It gives students the opportunity to preview a variety of
careers in professional and technical fields. The students experience
guided tours to view the facilities and learn more about the programs
available in the Business Technology and Service Division and the
Technical and Industrial Division. The day includes give-away items,
lunch, and scholarships. Preview Day attracts students from across
the local region, including home schools, charter and private schools.
New Student Recruitment staff assist with this program, which
is coordinated by faculty and staff in the Professional-Technical
Programs.
