3. Admissions Events- faculty needed--message from Mary
We've found out in recent years that the budget of GVSU is very dependent on tuition dollars. As the deadline for the state budget looms, it appears we can only get more so, since support for the state's universities will surely go down. Against that kind of background, we all know that student recruitment is essential to our University.
Please ask faculty if they can participate in the dinner/presentation on either Oct 27 Sterling Hts, MI and Oct 28 Southfield, MI [or both if the person can/will stay overnight, provided by admissions]. Please let Mary Schutten know the names or name of anyone willing to attend by Oct 15.
