</span></p>
<p class="xmsonormal" style="margin:0in"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="xmsonormal" style="margin:0in">We are strengthening our student recruitment efforts for all of our academic programs, and there are early indications of increases in the size of applicant pools. We are expanding on the ongoing fine work of our faculty,
staff, and Lisa Fortin, in particular. This Friday evening (Saturday morning for those joining in China), for example, Kylie Post, Yawei Zhang (International Recruitment Consultant for China), a few COE alums and I will be hosting an information session for
interested students and their families. I am also pursuing new part-time student recruiting staffing in the Portland metro area, with special outreach to prospective students from Black and African-American communities.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xmsonormal" style="margin:0in"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="xmsonormal" style="margin:0in">Of course, we are all recruiting students with every one of our activities - service, research, teaching or advising. New students of varied backgrounds and personal characteristics, from distant locales, speaking rarely
heard languages, and with a range of temperaments and abilities not only enrich our work lives, they also attract even more interesting students, staff, and faculty to our community of scholars. Although the outcomes of the interactions among this mixing of
scholars are unpredictable, new knowledge will certainly emerge, which is the unique societal contribution of a research university college of education.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xmsonormal" style="margin:0in"><o:p> </o:p></p>
