A study of student recruitment practices at Rowan University
No full textThis study provides advice to admissions counselors at Rowan University so they can better recruit prospective students.
For secondary research, the author did an online search of Rowan University\u27s Campbell Library databases, an Internet search and a book search at Gloucester County Library.
The author collected data from 269 surveys distributed to prospective students at one of seven open house events at Rowan University during the 2002/2003 academic school year.
Surveys showed that students visiting Rowan University\u27s one of seven open house events were happy with the overall program. Financial aid sessions proved to be the only part of the open house people were unhappy with.
The author also conducted seven in-depth interviews with admissions counselors from Rowan University\u27s Admissions Department.
The author found that Rowan University uses most recruitment techniques that recent research has shown to be effective. Although Rowan University effectively recruits prospective students, some changes need to be made to better recruit. Uses of technology and better assessment practices are examples of what changes need to be made

The impact of celebrity endorsements on the buying behavior of Rowan University students age 18-24
No full textThe purpose of this study was to determine the persuasiveness of celebrity endorsements on the purchase decisions of Rowan University students age 18-24, with specific regard to digital media players. The hypothesis of the study is that majority of Rowan students age 18-24 are persuaded to buy digital media players that are endorsed by celebrities they view favorably. The information gathered in the secondary research was used to develop questions for focus groups. The author of the study conducted two pre-test focus groups, after which the questions were modified. Once the questions were refined and finalized, the author conducted eight eight-person focus groups. Upon reviewing the results from the focus groups, the author found that most Rowan University students are not persuaded to purchase digital media players that are endorsed by celebrities they view favorably. The hypothesis was rejected
An analysis of Rowan University fund raising and communication practices
No full textPublic colleges and universities need more income than government can provide. States now typically provide less than half the funding for public universities, like Rowan University. Alumni fund raising and other gifts bridge this gap. This study describes variables that affect donor motivation in other schools, and measures those variables among Rowan University subjects. The author applied a 16-question protocol to a purposive sample of 31. The sample was comprised of key fund raising personnel and target study subjects from students to college presidents in seven groups. Extensive individual commentary supplements the sample\u27s small size. The major findings clearly support the university\u27s promotion of its 10-year building plan, as well as its successful academic and sports programs. Fund raising and other respondents prefer directed giving and specification of gift use
