The May 2 Open Forum, sponsored by the Professional & Scientific Council, will showcase innovative and successful projects that received 2007-2008 Retention & Recruitment Grants. This is also an opportunity to learn more about how staff can become part of the university’s retention and recruitment efforts for students.

The forum will be held at the Hixson-Lied Student Success Center on Friday,
May 2, in the classroom facilities. The poster session will begin at 11:30
a.m. so that attendees will have time to visit with project grant recipients
before the panel discussion. Featured projects include Science Bound
Student Ambassador Program, Opening Doors to a World of Adventures, DMCA
Outreach Initiative, 4-H ISU Recruitment Trip, and Exploring Agriculture and
Iowa State University. A complete list of all grant recipients during the 2007-08 academic year also is available.

A panel discussion, "Retention Through Innovation and Collaboration," will
begin at 12:10 p.m. and includes Dr. John H. Schuh, distinguished professor
of educational leadership and Interim Director of the Research Institute for
Studies in Education; Mary Jo Gonzales, Associate Dean of Students and
Director of the Academic Success Center; and Tom Brumm, faculty adviser and
University Academic Advising Committee Co-Chair.

Light refreshments will be served and those attending also will be eligible
for door prizes.
