Outreach by College Counselors: Increasing Student Attendance at Presentations
Marks, Lawrence I.; McLaughlin, Richard H.
Journal of College Counseling, v8 n1 p86 Spr 2005
Psychoeducational outreach programming by college counselors can be an effective service to meet students' needs; however, getting students to attend outreach programs on a college campus can be challenging. The authors describe a model of an outreach series and the strategies implemented to increase student attendance at the presentations. Information collected from students through focus groups, a survey, and presentation evaluation forms revealed factors that seem to be important to increasing attendance.
