Recruitment Strategies

Faculty members are the best recruiters for their own programs.  You have the most contact with students.  Students know and trust you and would feel comfortable traveling with you.  Studies have shown that faculty members play an important role in promoting study abroad programs to their students.

We suggest the following strategies:

  • Ask your colleagues if you could give a quick pitch for your program during their classes.
  • Post information about your program on your departmental website.
  • Send out e-blasts.
  • Create flyers.
  • Sign up to do an Information Session.  This is the perfect opportunity for students to meet you and get first hand information about your program.  The Office of Global Studies will be glad to organize a session for you. Contact Jeff Sherman at shermaj1@stjohns.edu.
