Guide to Recruiting Agricultural Students

This 30-page guide was developed by Wayne Randall from North Georgia Technical College to recruit agriculture students. This guide includes a preface about recruiting college students from Appalachia.

Topics and contents include the following: the purpose of recruitment, allowing others to help, focusing on developing a quality program, integrating recruitment and retention, a recipe for success, sample recruitment and retention messages, targeting feeder school audiences, a recruitment and retention timeline, making agricultural education worth the price, a sample radio public service announcement (PSA), and a checklist developed for North Georgia Technical College Agriculture Department’s recruitment plan.
