Recruitment
The CPCS Each One, Reach One Student Recruitment Campaign
We want all of our alumni to join us in our "Each One, Reach One" Student Recruitment Campaign. Our goal is to have a steady student population of 1000, and we need you to help make that happen.
Our experience shows that the most effective way for the College of Public and Community Service to recruit new students to the college is through word of mouth—a graduate or student telling a friend, co-worker, or family member about their experience at the college and its unique degree program for those who wish to make a difference in their lives and in the lives of others. As our most effective ambassadors, we ask you to spread the word about CPCS. To help you in that endeavor, we are more than willing to bring an information session to your place of work, or to a gathering where interested potential students might be. It can be a gathering of as few as two or three people to a large group—and we can give a full information session or just a brief overview. We can also provide you with pamphlets about the college that you can leave in appropriate places or pass on to interested potential students. You can tell us how we can help you get the word out about CPCS and we’ll work with you to create a way to accomplish that.
We’d also be happy to arrange Information Seminars for you here on campus, if that would be helpful. In general, information sessions take about an hour and potential students will have an opportunity to learn more about the college and become acquainted with the University, the cost of attending, financial aid, and student services.
As alumni, you are part of an illustrious group of people who are making a difference in the world, and we want your alumni group to expand. Your fellow alumni include high profile public figures, as well as many inspirational community, national and international leaders, agency administrators, and public and community service workers in many different arenas. Some high profile alumni include: Boston Mayor, Thomas M. Menino; Former Congressman and Citizens Energy CEO, Joseph P. Kennedy; State Senator, Steven Tolman; State Representative, Jeffrey Sanchez; Boston City Councilor and Former Chair, Maureen Feeney. Representative of many alumni with inspiring and empowering stories are: Debbie Chambers, founder of DC Empowering Children and the national Annual To Tell The Truth Conference on Sexual Abuse and Prevention; Michael Jones, Fulbright Scholar, whose research in Thailand on social movements influenced education reform and the re-writing of the Thai Constitution; Ronnie Miller, noted international speaker on peace and reconciliation in Ireland and Director of Corrymeela Centra in Northern Ireland; Stacie Thrall, founder of the first residential Adult Day Care in New Hampshire; Ernest Best, Project Manager, African American Men’s Literacy Project and Executive Director, Massachusetts Alliance for Adult Literacy, who also hosts a radio program, The Family Tree (WRBB 1.4.9FM).
Help us get information out about the college and increase our enrollment so we can continue to serve students as we have served you. Each One, Reach One!!
