Grounding Recruitment & Retention Plans in a Multicultural Model

How can you strengthen your recruitment of students of color, while also helping more of those students persist and graduate?

To stay relevant and viable in the 21st century, colleges and universities will need to be increasingly inclusive of diversity in their admission policies and retention practices.

If you haven’t reviewed your admissions policies lately, now is a great time to revise them from the perspective of broadening your awareness of multicultural issues.

Rev. Dr. Jamie Washington provides you with practical tools, models, and best practices for recruiting, retaining and graduating minority students of color over the next ten years.

What you will learn in this strategic and thought-provoking 90-minute seminar:

• Strategies for recruiting different student of color populations
• Important do’s and don’ts
• How to communicate and work with family members of students of color
• Recruitment, selection, and admission processes—including working with marketing, financial aid, and recruitment staff—that increase inclusiveness
• Orientation, summer bridge, retention programs and services with a focus on similarities and difference for different student of color groups
• Practical ways to address resistance and backlash to these programs
• How to evaluate your existing campus climate and institutional readiness to go beyond increasing numbers to creating a more inclusive campus environment
• Ways to involve faculty staff, alumni and community members of color
