Dean Skerrett then introduced Nanci Tessier, Vice President for Enrollment Management, who presented a detailed overview of the processes and systems used to recruit students for admission.  She presented some 22 slides and some brief video clips with faculty and students to illustrate some of the examples used in recruitment.

 Nanci Tessier then opened the floor for discussion and questions.  A lively session then ensued about the on-campus tours for perspective students and parents, and what areas and facilities of the University are included and emphasized during the tours.  Ms. Tessier welcomed suggestions and advice and encouraged faculty to contact her directly.

Dean Skerrett reminded everyone that the next faculty meeting will be on November 9, 2011.
   
The meeting was adjourned at 5:28 p.m.
