Title: LECNA POLL: High School Student Awareness, Consideration and Perceptions of Higher Education
1LECNA POLL High School Student Awareness,
Consideration and Perceptions of Higher Education
- Findings of the LECNA National High School
Student Research - January 2004/June 2004
2Two Projects
- The following charts comprise findings related to
two different research projects conducted for
LECNA by HardwickDay - Fall 2003 national quantitative study in which
916 high school students participated in a
20-minute telephone survey on various topics
regarding the college consideration process.
613 juniors and 303 sophomores were interviewed.
An over sample of 200 Lutheran juniors were
interviewed from lists obtained from ELCA and
LCMS. The number of Lutheran students
interviewed were proportionate to region of the
country and Synod. - June 2004 a qualitative study consisting of
five focus groups, four of which were student
only sessions and a fifth for which the
participants were parents of college bound high
school students. In each of the groups,
participant recruitment was structured to include
both Lutherans and persons of other, or no, faith.
3Two Avenues for Implementation
- To inform and direct marketing activities of
LECNA on behalf of the member colleges of the
association - To inform/direct recruitment and marketing
activities at, and on behalf of, individual
member institutions
4Our agenda for today
- Topics recap
- Communication with individual students
- Communication with the larger market
- Financing
- Dissemination
- Complete report for quantitative study to be sent
via email - Already sent complete videotape series of
qualitative series - Todays objectives
- Highlight a selected number of findings from both
to illustrate - Inter-connectedness
- Utility
- Harness the brainpower of LECNA members for
future projects
5Students Expect to Participate in Many Activities
in College
- Students were asked to list extracurricular
activities in which they plan to participate. - Over half listed athletics, especially
intercollegiate athletics. - This percentage of intercollegiate participation
is unrealistically high if they attend a public
institution. - Sophomore males are especially likely to think
they will participate in intercollegiate sports
by the junior year the males percentage drops
somewhat to be similar to females. - Academic clubs or band/orchestra appeal to a
similar number, at about one in six. - Just less than one in ten plan to be involved in
choir, and this percentage is not different for
Lutherans. - Other activities not shown are mentioned by less
than 5. - Religious studies or youth ministry are mentioned
by 2 of sophomores and 4 of juniors and
Lutherans.
Q. 9 While at college, what are some of the
extracurricular activities in which you plan to
participate?
6There is opportunity to influence the college
consideration and selection process among high
school sophomores and juniors.
7At This Point, Most Students Have Not Made a
Definite College Decision
- Two in five sophomores do not have a clear idea
of the type of college or university theyd like
to attend. - By the junior year, this has reduced to less than
one in three. - One in ten sophomores and one in seven juniors
already know which college or university they
want to attend. - Of these, two-thirds of sophomores and half of
juniors name a large public institution. - One in five in each age group name a private
college or university. - The remainder mention two-year colleges or other
unknown institutions. - One junior already plans to go to a Lutheran
college. - Lutheran juniors respond similarly to the junior
group as a whole on this question.
Q. 3 Which of the following best describes how
much thought youve already given to what college
or university you might attend? If students
havent given it any thought (6 of juniors), or
have decided not to attend college (2), they
were not included in the study.
8From the focus groups
- Provide understanding of the use of filter/screen
in college choice process - All students were utilizing some sort of screen
to ascertain which colleges they would or would
not consider. Screeners appear to be based upon
some sort of prior knowledge not fact and are
open to shaping by word of mouth and innuendo - Students employed a screen or filter as well when
deciding what to share with parents - Sharing with parents was usually done in an
exceedingly informal way, utilizing casual forms
of transmission. The preferred method was to
leave brochures of interest in a location easily
accessible to parents (kitchen counter). - Campus visits were unanimously the selection tool
of choice
9From the focus groups
- Colleges must recognize that all campus visits,
regardless of student age, reason for visiting,
or sponsor of visit, contribute to individual
perceptions of campuses and programs.
10One in Three Students Has Attended Some Form of
Extended Learning Experience on a College Campus
- Students were asked if they ever attended a camp
or other extended learning experience on a
college campus. - One in three students say they have attended such
an experience. - There are no differences by income or region of
the country. - Junior males (and Lutheran males) are less likely
than females to have participated this was not
the case for the sophomores. - Students with higher GPAs, those with at least
one parent who is a college graduate, and
Caucasians are also more likely to have
participated in an extended campus experience. - Christians (other than Catholics or Lutherans)
are more likely than students with no religious
affiliation to have participated on a campus.
Q. 29 Have you ever attended a camp or other
extended learning experience on a college campus?
11From the focus groups
- Students put great emphasis on the look of a
campus not only for its beauty, but rating the
quality of maintenance as well well-kept not
run down were very important descriptors.
12From the focus groups
- At all stages photographs are important. Must
be in color, of the campus, casual and candid,
not posed and not cute. Photos should be unique
to the campus and not able to be used by any
other college.
13Ample evidence exists to justify, or even demand,
segmented communication streams to
sub-populations.
14From the focus groups
- Early in the consideration process, students
prefer materials which address the Jack Webb
factor just the facts clearly stated with
no hype or puffery.
15Sophomores Are More Likely to Say Theyd Like a
Lot of Extracurricular Options
- Students were asked if they had to make a choice,
which would they choose, having a lot of
extracurricular options or a higher likelihood
that theyd have a chance to participate. - Sophomores are looking for lots of options, while
juniors are fairly evenly split. - Lutheran juniors are somewhat more likely to lean
toward having a chance to participate. - Other groups more interested in having a chance
to participate include lower income juniors,
Midwest residents, and those whose parents are
college graduates.
Q. 8 If you had to make a choice, which is more
important to you ?
16Sophomores and Juniors Agree on How They Would
Like Colleges to Help Them Grow As a Person
- Students were asked to rate the importance of
different skills. - Two in three rate the ability to think
independently as very important--the highest
of all skills rated. - Acceptance of different people and improving
self-confidence are also very important to a
majority. - Lutherans are less likely to place great
importance on developing teamwork skills through
participation in music or sports, or to have the
ability to adapt to different settings. - Developing spirituality and growing faith are
very important to about three in ten overall,
especially Lutherans. - However, there is a very different pattern
between the two items females are nearly twice
as likely as males to find developing their own
spirituality as important, but a roughly equal
number of males and females wish to grow their
faith through worship and service.
Q. 5 In addition to academics, some colleges also
strive to provide opportunities for you to grow
as a person. Please tell me how important each
of the following skills is to you. (Rating a 5
on a five-point scale, where 1not at all
important and 5 very important to you).
17Junior Females Are Most Likely to Be Interested
in Good Faculty Advising
There are no gender differences among Lutherans
- Students were asked if they had to make a choice,
which would they choose, having a lot of majors
from which to choose, or good faculty advising to
help them choose a major that is right for them
from a smaller list of options. - While sophomores are fairly evenly divided,
juniors tend to lean toward good faculty
advising. - However, the good faculty advising is more
important to junior females than males, by a wide
margin. - Interestingly, this gender difference did not
appear among sophomores or Lutheran juniors. - Good faculty advising is also more important to
Lutheran juniors than having a lot of majors. - Other groups more interested in good advising
include lower income juniors and Southwestern
residents.
Q. 8 If you had to make a choice, which is more
important to you ?
18From the focus groups
- Understand parental level of interest and
understandings of college consideration process - Parents generally expressed interest in, support
for, and concern about their childs college
selection process - Those with older children who had already
negotiated the process were more well informed - Parents were able to express some explicit
criteria for college choice that they had shared
with their children, but it appeared that
additional criteria went unspoken. None of the
parents in the group were receiving communication
directly from colleges or universities
19There Are Many Regional Differences in Expected
Participation in College Activities
- For juniors living in the West, sports are less
important, and band, choir, dance and clubs are
more important. - For Midwestern juniors, only sports stand out as
more important. - Southwestern juniors are less likely to be
interested in sports and list the fewest
activities of all groups. - Of all groups, Northeastern juniors are most
interested in sports, and they are also more
interested in drama or theater and community
service. - At 23, Southeastern juniors are twice as likely
as other groups to be interested in academic
clubs they are also more interested in community
service. - Students with higher GPAs are interested in
slightly more activities.
20RecapChanges Between Sophomore and Junior Year
- There is a significant increase in the percentage
who have taken advanced placement and college
courses from the sophomore to the junior year. - Juniors are nearly twice as likely as sophomores
to work. Among those who work, the hours are the
same, about sixteen hours per week. - There is a shift in thought about college with
10 fewer juniors saying they have no clear idea
yet of the type of college theyd like to attend.
- Sophomore males have unrealistically high
expectations for participation in intercollegiate
sports in college this drops by the junior year. - Similarly, sophomores prefer many extracurricular
options in college, while juniors begin to
believe having a chance to participate is more
important. - By the junior year, females may begin to develop
a preference for private colleges. They are
significantly more likely than males to favor
good faculty advising to lots of major options. - Juniors are less likely to agree that small
colleges provide substantial scholarships that
make them affordable. Although junior males are
lowest on this characteristic, it is not
significant. - When seeking college information, juniors have
significantly more experience with
college-initiated interactions and marketing, but
the gap is much smaller when it comes to
self-initiated interactions, indicating that
sophomores are actively seeking available
information - From the sophomore to junior year there is a
increase in the number of students who indicate
they have talked to their parents about how to
pay for college, and especially additional
consideration of financial aid. It is during the
junior year that the strategy of choosing a less
expensive college emerges. - Although the number remains low, twice as many
juniors as sophomores have spending limits
imposed by their parents and/or have eliminated
colleges because of price.
21RecapHow Lutherans Differ From the Total Junior
Sample
- Lutheran families are more highly-educated,
church members, and Caucasian. Lutheran juniors
are more likely to live in small towns or rural
areas, attend smaller high schools and have
higher GPAs. - Lutherans are more likely to place importance on
growing their faith through worship and service,
and less likely to believe adapting to different
settings and learning leadership skills through
music or sports participation is very important. - Lutherans are more likely to agree with small
college attributes they are more interested in a
chance to participate in extracurricular
activities and good faculty advising than having
a lot of options in extracurricular activities or
majors. - However, more than in the random population,
there is a segment (especially higher-GPA
Lutherans) who say an enrollment of under 4,000
makes them LESS interested in a college. - Lutherans are more likely to say a religious
affiliation makes them more interested in a
college (35 vs. 20 of the random population). - Lutherans are more likely to consider a college
because someone they know has attended that
college especially friends, or
boyfriend/girlfriend. - Lutheran juniors are more likely to indicate
private colleges have an emphasis on values and
ethics and a higher likelihood of finishing in
four years. - Lutheran juniors are less inclined than the
random population to say they will choose a less
expensive option, then transfer. - Lutheran juniors, as compared to any other
religious group, indicate the highest level of
student contribution to college costs.
22RecapRegional Differences
- The largest demographic differences between
regions are in ethnicity and income. - For juniors living in the West, sports are less
important, and band, choir, dance and clubs are
more important. Acceptance of people who are
different from them is a highly important skill.
Western juniors place more importance on several
characteristics, including faculty that get to
know them, developing career skills, attending
with involved students, an emphasis on values and
ethics, and a campus where music has a presence.
Western juniors are more likely to say state
university funding was recently cut in their
state they are highest of all regions to claim a
negative impact of the cuts. - For Midwestern juniors, only sports stand out as
more important. Midwestern juniors are one group
that is more likely to say a religious
affiliation would make them more interested.
They are somewhat more likely than other regions
to indicate a public university as best in the
state. Midwestern juniors are most likely to
agree there has been large tuition hikes in their
state. - Southwestern juniors are less likely to be
interested in sports and list the fewest
activities of all groups, however, they are far
more likely than other groups to be interested in
growing their faith through worship and service,
and to say a religious affiliation would make
them more interested in a college. Southwestern
juniors are least likely to agree living on
campus enriches the college experience, but are
most likely to agree that small colleges provide
substantial scholarships to make them affordable.
Southwestern juniors differ from other regions by
often attributing the private college
characteristics--faculty that get to know them,
courses taught by actual professors, and an
emphasis on values and ethics--to public
universities. Southwest residents are more
likely to have spending limits imposed on them.
23RecapRegional Differences (Continued)
- Of all groups, Northeastern juniors are most
interested in sports, and they are also more
interested in drama or theater and community
service. They are least interested in developing
their spirituality or growing their faith through
worship and service. Northeastern juniors are
more likely to say that a private school, one
located in another state, or a state school would
make no difference in their consideration.
Accordingly, they are lower than most other
regions in saying these attributes would make
them more interested in a college. They are the
only region to mention a private college or
university more often than a public as best in
their state. They are least likely to agree
large universities can be overwhelming, are less
likely to believe it is important to attend with
students who are motivated, and are more likely
to say there is no difference between private
colleges and public universities on most
attributes measured. Northeast residents are more
likely to have spending limits imposed on them. - Southeastern juniors are twice as likely as other
groups to be interested in academic clubs they
are also more interested in community service.
They place greater importance on a program with a
good placement record for jobs and grad school.
Southeastern juniors are more likely to say state
university funding was recently cut in their
state.
24 Word-of-mouth, often generated by basic public
opinion, is critically important.
25Many Students Rely on Others Experience for
College Advice
- Students were asked if they are considering any
colleges because someone they know attended or is
planning to attend that college. - Over two in five sophomores and random juniors,
and half of Lutheran juniors are considering a
college because someone they know attended that
college. - This is significantly lower among students whose
parents did not graduate from college (32). - This is more prevalent for all religious groups
monitored, and significantly less for those with
no religious affiliation (31). - However, influencers are primarily family members
and friends, and rarely specifically people from
church (detail on next slide). - Another one-quarter of students are considering a
college because someone they know is planning to
attend that college. - This is especially true for lower income
sophomores (36), but not juniors, where there is
no difference by income.
Q. 30 Are you considering any colleges because
someone you know ?
26Friends and Relatives Lead the List of People Who
Will Have Some Influence Because they Attended or
Will Attend a College
- Students who are considering colleges because
someone they know attended or is planning to
attend that college were asked to name that
person. - Friends, including boyfriends and girlfriends,
top the list. - Family members follow, including siblings,
parents, and other relatives (primarily cousins
and aunts or uncles). - Family friends receive some mentions (2-3).
- Very few students mention a high school teacher.
- Less than 1 of any group mention a youth group
leader or someone else from church. - Friends from church could be included among
friends or friends of the family, however.
Q. 31 And, who is that person? (based to total)
27From the focus groups
- All of the students, regardless of the college
search stage they self-identified, were evidently
reacting not only to specific recruitment
materials from colleges, but also to impressions
and attitudes garnered from other, earlier,
experiences.
28Self-Initiated Interactions Indicate that
Sophomores Are Hungry for College Information
- Students were read a list of information sources
and asked which ones they had used so far to
gather information about colleges. - The gap in usage between sophomores and juniors
is much smaller on those items that are either
self-initiated or open to everyone. - About three in five students have talked to
someone high school counselors (23), friends
(19), parents (16), and teachers (8) lead the
list. - More than two in five juniors have visited a
college campus and one in three rely on college
rankings. - Church is a prominent source for Lutheran juniors
(39). Comparatively few juniors of other
religions noted this source Catholics (10),
other Christians (27). - However, only 3 Lutheran juniors (1) voluntarily
mention speaking to a pastor, and 1 spoke to a
youth group leader about college.
Q.19A Please tell me what communication sources
you have used so far to gather information about
colleges. Have you used
29Most Useful Sources for College Information?
Word-of-Mouth and College Marketing Materials
Top the List
- Students were asked which one of the information
sources they had used so far they found to be
most useful. - The most common response for all groups is
talking to someone high school counselors (6),
friends (4), and current students at a college
(3) lead the list. - 1 of Lutheran juniors mention talking to a youth
group leader as most useful. - The importance of college-generated marketing
materials is seen in the next two items college
websites and brochures/ viewbooks. - High school visits and college fairs are also
high on juniors list of useful sources, followed
by general websites, campus visits and letters
from colleges. - All other sources are mentioned by less than 3
of juniors. Only 1-3 of students say none of
the sources has been useful.
Q.20 Which one of the sources youve used so far
did you find most useful?
30Students expect timely responses.
31Most Students Expect an Answer to an Email Query
in One Week or Less
- Students were asked how quickly they would expect
an answer to an email question. - Nearly half of juniors and 40 of sophomores
expect a reply in less than one week. - Nearly one in five juniors expects a response
within one day. - Another one-quarter of students expect a reply in
one week, for a total of two-thirds of sophomores
and three-fourths of juniors who expect a reply
in one week or less.
Q. 27 If you asked a college a question
electronically, how quickly would you expect a
response?
32Personal contact is effective and welcomed.
33Sophomores and Juniors Have Similar Preferences
for College Communication Methods
- Students were asked which of four different
methods of communication with prospective
students they most prefer. - Sophomores and juniors have remarkably similar
responses. - Mail from the admissions office is the most
popular method, especially among those with
higher GPAs. - One in four prefer calls from admissions
counselors and emails from different entities at
a college. - Students whose parents did not graduate from
college are more likely to prefer calls from
admissions counselors over other methods. - Fewer students prefer calls from current college
students.
Q.28 Im going to read you four methods colleges
use to communicate with prospective students.
Think about how you prefer to be contacted.
Which of these do you most prefer?
34From the focus groups
- Personal communication is preferred BUT
- Must be error free (name correct, no
misspellings, etc.) - Must genuinely address areas in which student has
an interest - If electronic sender must be a recognized name
or institution - Subject line descriptive, accurate and not cute
- Email is preferred for short communication only
- Not one student had forwarded an email from a
college to a parent - Strongly negative reactions to communication
streams that just kept coming
35Pricing and financing issues are swamps of
misinformation.
36From the focus groups
- Develop greater understanding of parents
financial considerations and picture of ideal
college financing process/system - Parents were aware of the existence of financial
aid and financial planning for college, generally
unaware of how to access that information. - Even those who were aware of the pathways for
accessing financial information had not done so. - Most had no financial plan for the cost of
college but yet appear to have devised a
strategy (we pay two thirds, student pays
one-third we pay direct costs, student to pay
personal expenses) - Parents expressed high level of frustration with
their inability to truly understand college costs
prior to the admit/enroll decision in the spring
of the students senior year
37The Majority of Students Have Multiple Strategies
to Help Pay for College
- Students were read a list of strategies they
might use to pay for college. On average,
students will use five or six of the eleven
choices given. - The vast majority plan to use work earnings, both
from college and high school. - More than two of three will use students and
parents savings. - Families where both parents are college graduates
are more likely to have parental savings. - Juniors are more likely to mention applying for
financial aid, indicating they perhaps have a
more evolved plan. - This is especially true of lower-income students,
rising from 64 of sophomores to 83 of juniors
who say they will apply. - Three in five hope to use college classes taken
in high school to reduce some college
requirements.
Q.36 Have you already, or will you do any of the
following to pay for college?
38A Minority of Students Have Discussed How They
Will Pay for College with Their Parents
- Students were asked if they had talked
specifically to their parents about how they will
pay for college. - Two in five juniors have talked to their parents
specifically about how they will pay for college. - This is especially true of juniors with higher
GPAs (44 vs. 34 of lower GPAs). - There are no differences between sophomores and
juniors on this question. - Few (7 of juniors) say their parents have set a
spending limit. - There is a marked increase since the sophomore
year in limit-setting, from 3 to 7. - Among juniors, Southwest and Northeast residents
are most likely to have spending limits imposed.
Q. 35 Have you and your parents talked
specifically about how you will pay for
college? Q. 40 Have your parents set a limit on
how much theyll pay?
39Although Tuition Will Impact the College Choice
Set for Half, Fewer Juniors Have Already
Eliminated Colleges on Price
- Students were asked if the total tuition will
have any impact on the set of colleges to which
they choose to apply, and if they have already
eliminated any colleges because of price. - Half of juniors indicate that the total published
tuition will impact their college application
choices. - This is somewhat (but not significantly) higher
than sophomores (43). - Interestingly, juniors who have had an extended
campus learning experience are more likely to
indicate the tuition will NOT have an impact
(57) on their decision. - One in five juniors (and 12 of sophomores) say
they have already eliminated colleges because of
the tuition price.
Q. 41 As you consider colleges, will the total
tuition as stated by the college in their
materials--that is, their published price, have
any impact in determining the colleges to which
you apply? Q. 42 Have you eliminated any colleges
primarily because of price?
40The Majority of Students Expect to Pay at Least
Half of their College Costs Themselves
- Students were asked how much of their college
costs they expect will be paid by their parents.
There are no differences by age group. - Nearly half (46) of juniors say their parents
will pay all or most of their college costs.
- One in ten say all, and this percentage is
higher among the higher income group (13 vs. 4
of the lower-income group). - One in four juniors expects to split the costs
equally with their parents. - Another one in four juniors expects their parents
to pay some, but less than half of their
expenses. - One in twenty expects their parents to pay
nothing at all. - At 8, junior males are twice as likely as
females (3) to fall in this group. - Among lower-income juniors, 43 expect to pay all
or most of their college expenses without their
parents help (parents will pay some or none),
compared to 21 of higher-income juniors.
Q.37 How much of your college costs do you think
will be paid by your parents?
41Opportunity exists to trade upon the value
perceived in the characteristics of LECNA member
collegesbut
42The Vast Majority Agree with Statements
Positively Showcasing Small, Private Colleges
- Students were asked if they agreed or disagreed
with these statements. - The groups are similar in their agreement that
living on campus enriches the college experience,
it is easy to make friends at a small college and
large universities can be overwhelming. - Sophomores and Lutheran juniors seem more
optimistic about the availability of scholarships
and affordability of private colleges. - Although large universities are less likely than
small colleges to be thought of as places where
it is easy to make friends, students tend to
agree large universities provide more
opportunities to participate outside of class. - Males are especially skewed toward large
universities in terms of opportunities outside of
class.
Q. 7 Please tell me if you agree or disagree with
the following statements about colleges or
universities.
43From the focus groups
- Provide understanding of role of implicit or
explicit parental parameters/guidelines in
college choice process - Students shared general explicit parameters
expressed by their parents, most of which related
to distance from home - More involved discussion later in the groups
revealed the existence of other, often covert,
parameters established by parents (usually
assumptions about either family finances,
religious preference or location)
44Several Characteristics Juniors Rate as Very
Important In College Consideration Are Done Best
by Private Colleges
- Students were read a list of characteristics and
asked to rate their importance in their
consideration of colleges. - There are no differences by group.
- About half of juniors rate finishing in four
years, faculty that get to know you, courses
taught by actual professors, a program with a
good placement record for jobs and graduate
school, and attending with students who are
motivated to do well as very important. - The characteristic, faculty that really get to
know you is more important to females and lower
income students. - Lower income students also put more importance on
the schools job placement record. - An emphasis on values and ethics in campus life
is very important to one in four, and is also
more important to females than males.
Q.32 Im going to read you a list of
characteristics about a campus or college in
general. For each one, tell me how important it
is in your consideration of colleges. (Rating a
5 on a five point scale, where 1not at all
important and 5 very important to you).
45From the focus groups
- Elicit candid response to common LECNA college
attributes and elicit, if possible, alternate
descriptive language from students - Six separate attributes were presented to
students. Regardless of age (rising senior vs.
rising college freshmen) or gender (girls vs.
boys) all students had great difficulty
determining meaning and value from the statements - Most were unable to express any alternate
descriptors for the attributes
46For the Most Part, Juniors See No Difference in
Where These College Attributes Will Be Found
- Students were asked where they thought theyd be
most likely to experience each characteristic, at
a smaller private college, a larger public
university, or if there is no difference. - Juniors recognize small private colleges for
faculty that really get to know you and courses
taught by actual professors. - For all of the remaining characteristics, the
majority see no difference between private
colleges and large public universities. - This is especially true for the most important
characteristic, finishing in four years. - Even so, more juniors think private colleges than
public universities are likely to provide - an emphasis on values and ethics in campus life
- attending with students who are motivated to do
well - attending with students who are involved, not
just spectators - developing career skills like writing or critical
thinking. - And more juniors think public universities than
private colleges are likely to provide a - program with a good placement record
- campus where music has a major presence
Q.33 Are you more likely to experience that at a
larger public university, a smaller private
college, or do you think there is no difference?
47Students with Higher GPAs, College Graduate
Parents, and Caucasians Give More Credit to
Private Colleges
- Juniors with higher GPAs, from families where
both parents graduated from college, higher
income, and Caucasians generally cite private
colleges in higher percentages for faculty that
get to know them, courses taught by actual
professors, and an emphasis on values and
ethics. - Caucasians are also more likely to cite private
colleges as a place for attending with students
who are motivated to do well, and involved
students. - Lutheran juniors are more likely to indicate
private colleges as having an emphasis on values
and ethics and a higher likelihood of finishing
in four years. - Southwestern juniors differ from other regions by
often attributing the private college
characteristics--faculty that get to know them,
courses taught by actual professors, and an
emphasis on values and ethics--to public
universities. - Northeastern juniors are more likely to say there
is no difference between private colleges and
public universities on most attributes.
48Your assignment
- Meet briefly in small groups each to identify
at least one avenue for visibility/awareness to
be pursued by LECNA - Reporting back
