The students that were a part of the
recruitment effort seemed to be very im
pressed with the programs offered at the
university. Their concerns seemed to focus
around Army ROTC, housing, activities at
school, transportation, financial aid, co-op
programs, and jobs after graduation.
Several of the students indicated they
would apply for admissions to our univer
sity, based on their visit here. The
students’ areas of interests were computer
science, nursing, music and business ma
jors. Students such as Adrian Peaks and
Terry Wilson, enjoyed the tour, liked the
school and will fill out applications. “The
people and the campus seemed to be nice,”
said Ms. Peaks.
According to Ms. Deborah Chaney, no
other groups of students are scheduled to
visit the university at present. The
Recruitment Staff would like to thank the
people that helped out with the program. If
