Students sent for summer recruitment

Milligan has organized two student outreach teams to travel around the east coast and advertise for the school this summer. One group, made up of four students, will recruit at high school camps, while two other students will travel together to Christ in Youth conferences. The students will be out campaigning for nine to 10 weeks.

"Our goal for these teams is to actually make and build relationships with students so that they can actually have a feel for what students at Milligan are like and so that when the prospective students actually get to Milligan, they will have relationships already formed.," said Tracy Brinn, director of enrollment management.

The teams were organized as a means to accomplish Milligan’s enrollment goal of 1,000 students this upcoming fall semester.

"Currently (we have) a record-breaking enrollment," said President Don Jeanes, "but we have to replace the number of students that are graduating from undergraduate and our MBA programs."

Jeanes told trustees in last week’s general session that he will be nominating current faculty to serve newly created committees for "Strategies for Growth.”
