Working collaboratively, Enrollment Services – theOffices of Admissions, Academic Scholarships & Financial Aid, Transfer Central,the Registrar, New Student Orientation, and Nationally Competitive Awards –strives to recruit, retain, and support an academically prepared, diverse, nationallycompetitive student body. The following report outlines Enrollment Services’activities and accomplishments during the 2019-2020 academic year in support ofthe incoming classes of 2019 and 2020.In Fall 2019, the university welcomed more than 27,500 students to campus,including a new freshman cohort of 4,601 students. Of these students, 2,379 werefrom Arkansas, and 2,222 were non-residents. This was an 8% decline in degreeseeking new freshmen and was due in a large part to increases in eligibility criteriafor the New Arkansan Non-Resident Tuition Award. As the numbers dropped,Admissions scrambled to make up these numbers by taking the NRTA back to itsoriginal requirements. There was still an almost 400 student drop in enrollment,but the number would likely have been higher without this change. Despite thisdrop, overall diversity in the student body increased to 20.4%. New freshmanstudents continued to display significant levels of academic preparedness, in manycases building on positive trends apparent in earlier classes. The freshman classhad an incoming GPA of 3.72 and an average ACT score of 26. Of the 4,601 newfreshmen, 24% enrolled with an ACT score of 30 or higher, and 51% reported a3.75 GPA or higher. Other indicators of academic preparedness also point to afreshman class ready to succeed as part of the Razorback community (see graphicpage 1).University of Arkansas Enrollment Services 2019-2020 Annual ReportPage 1 of 33

2019-2020 Annual ReportAdmissionsRecruitmentOur recruitment team is a collection of dynamic,engaging professionals that do a great job ofrepresenting the University across both our state andregion. While the group is ever changing, the Office ofAdmissions strives to hire quick learners with outgoingpersonalities. That goal was accomplished again thisyear with the hiring of twelve new staff members:Skyler Ames-Patton, Jaecy Bradford, Hailey Canada,Sydney Conley, Alex Dowell, Radeanna Garcia, MeganGarland, Sarah Holmes, Brooke Reynolds, WilliamScheiderer, Teresa Simpson and Tyler Simpson. Thenew admissions counselors are diverse in terms oftheir backgrounds and experiences. They proved tobe excellent representatives of the University as theyattended off-campus events and recruited across thestate of Arkansas and nationally. As in previous years,the recruitment staff as a whole attended well over1000 off-campus events, including college fairs, highschool visits, community events, coffee chats, etc,before we were shut down for Covid-19. In addition,starting in April we hosted 271 Virtual HS visits sincewe weren’t allowed to travel.Diversity RecruitmentRafael Arciga Garcia, Associate Director for DiversityRecruitment, was part of the 2019-2020 CollegeBoard’s Enrollment Leadership Academy (ELA)Southwest region cohort. ELA is a professionaldevelopment program that cultivates the nextgeneration of enrollment leaders. In September2019 our diversity staff, Rafael Arciga Garcia andChantel Moseby, traveled to Dallas, Texas, with staffrepresenting the Office of Diversity and Inclusionas well as other offices across campus. The 3-daytargeted recruitment trip involved visiting multiplehigh schools and church youth groups in the area.Rafael was also invited to serve as part of theSpringdale Public Library Multicultural AdvisoryCouncil. We hope to increase our presence andcollaboration with organizations such as theSpringdale Public Library in order to reach and informstudents and the community about higher educationopportunities. Our recruitment efforts in NorthwestArkansas continued with Campus Day, as schoolsfrom Green Forest, Rogers, Bentonville and Springdalebrought Latino juniors and seniors to visit campus.Around 250 students attended this event in the Fall;unfortunately, due to Covid-19, plans for Campus Dayin the Spring had to be canceled. Our Office alongwith the Office of Diversity and Inclusion establisheda partnership program, UA Connections, with OsceolaHigh School, Pine Bluff High School and Central HighSchool in West Helena. As part of the partnership,students from these schools visited the University ofArkansas and met with several departments and unitsacross the campus as well as current U of A students.Representatives from our office along with other unitson campus traveled to Osceloa for the inaugural U ofA Connections Recruiting to enhance outreach effortfor the partnership created with the school as partof UA Connections. We had the opportunity to meetwith students from the STEM Academy and theirhigh school students, some parents, teachers andadministrators. Covid-19 made it impossible to visitthe other UA Connections partner schools.The Campus VisitThe campus visit continues to be one of the mainreasons a student will choose a particular institution.Because of that, the Office of Admissions continuesto emphasize the campus visit program. Given howinfluential a campus visit can be for prospectivestudents, campus visit personnel are constantlylooking for ways to improve the processes andoverall customer service. The goal every year is tomake the campus visit experience as effective aspossible. Since moving to Slate, the entire campusvisit process has improved, including registration,communication, printing, and more. This year 7,389students visited campus. Of those that visited, 1,778were from Arkansas and 5,611 from out-of-state. Inaddition to individual families, we also welcomed 111groups to campus before we shifted to remote workin March. Starting April 1, we began offering virtualpresentations and hosted 455 students through theend of the academic year.Student AmbassadorsOne of the highlights of the campus visit programcontinues to be the student involvement throughthe Student Ambassador Program. The program isa volunteer-based registered student organizationconsisting of just over 110 undergraduate studentsfor the fall semester. A student ambassador must havestrong leadership and presentation skills, a positiveUniversity of Arkansas Enrollment Services 2019-2020 Annual ReportPage 2 of 33

2019-2020 Annual Reportattitude, and an enthusiastic commitment to theUniversity of Arkansas. All potential ambassadorsparticipate in group and individual interviews beforethey are selected. Student ambassadors are requiredto give at least two tours a week, plus one Saturdaytour per semester, and must assist with Admissions’preview days. The Office of Admissions also choosesa select group of ambassadors for work during allholiday breaks and summer months.to be Counselor Connection, held each spring. Thisyear, before the shutdown, we were able to host anevent for in-state counselors from all over the state.In total, we had 12 counselors who gathered a lotof information, ate some great food, and enjoyed abasketball game against LSU.For the second year in a row, we hosted out-of-stateyield events, Arkansas & YOU. Hosted in a total ofeight cities across six states, these events saw over750 students and guests attend to meet others fromtheir area as well as learn everything they needed tohelp ease their transition into the U of A and get readyfor New Student Orientation. In addition, we hostedone virtual event with 10 students in attendance.In addition to their weekly commitments, studentsparticipate in monthly team building activities andyearlong training events. The Office of Admissionsalso recognizes an ambassador of the month, whichqualifies the recipient for the end-of-the-year “Heartof the Hog” award.Special EventsRazorback 101 is the first preview day of the academicyear, hosted in late July for rising seniors. These eventsallow students to tour the campus, have lunch, see aresidence hall, and learn more about the upcomingprocess of applying to the University of Arkansas.During the summer of 2019, the Office of Admissionshosted just over 350 students along with their parentsand guests.Once again, we hosted our senior preview day,Razorback Reveal, in the fall. Admissions partneredwith the academic colleges to host a total of 242students. This event allowed each of the colleges tospend two hours with interested students, introducingthem to the unique opportunities available throughtheir college and at the University of Arkansas.Admissions also typically hosts a couple of previewdays in the spring for high school juniors calledReady Razorback and Razorback Diversity Impact.These events typically include a variety of activitiessuch as an information fair, an opening session withadmissions highlights and speakers from EnrollmentServices, lunch in a dining hall, campus tours, housingtours, and breakout sessions with each of the sixacademic colleges. We look forward to hosting theseevents again next April.Unfortunately, we had to cancel our in-state yieldevents, Headed to the Hill. Instead we offered virtualevents and hosted just over 300 students. Eventhough they were online, these yield events helpedconnect incoming freshmen with other students intheir area, increasing their excitement about attendingthe University in the fall, and further introducing themto campus partners.In addition, over the past year, our recruitment staffhas been very busy in their territories in addition totheir regular high school visits and college fairs. Wehosted counselor breakfasts/luncheons, as well asfour Razorback Connections, two in Arkansas andtwo in neighboring states. Counselor breakfasts/luncheons are a way for us to thank area high schoolcounselors for all of their hard work as well as shareimportant updates locally for both them and theirstudents. Razorback Connections are events intendedfor seniors to learn more about the U of A there intheir hometown, often times having academic collegesin attendance as well to visit with them locally. It’s ouropen house in their hometown! Several recruiters havealso implemented Coffee Chats which are a chanceto meet with students and their families at their localcoffee shop and chat about the University of Arkansas.Once we went virtual, they also hosted hundreds ofvirtual chat opportunities for students.While the office still prefers students to scheduleindividual visits to campus, during which they receivemore personalized interaction, university-wideparticipation at all of Admissions’ preview days hasmade them a huge success.One of Admissions’ most popular events continuesUniversity of Arkansas Enrollment Services 2019-2020 Annual ReportPage 3 of 33

They are archivedon the redesigned transfer.uark.edu website that haseasily accessible information for students. This spring,we’ve developed additional virtual experiences like ourWooo Pig Mondays where students can learn moreabout transferring, and virtual 1:1 visits to ask specificquestions.

2019-2020 Annual ReportNew Student OrientationNew undergraduate students enrolling in the fall orspring semester have an opportunity to sign up for aNew Student Orientation session that assists in theirtransition to the University. All students, includingtransfer, transfer freshmen, and non-traditionalstudents, have an orientation that best fits theirneeds. Students eligible to join the Honors Collegeare invited to attend an honors-specific orientationbut are welcome to attend any traditional orientationsession. The office of New Student Orientationcoordinates the honors orientations, the one-dayand two-day traditional orientations, the on-campustransfer orientation, online transfer orientation, andthe spring orientation in January, for all new domesticundergraduate students.New Opportunities for ChangeDue to the COVID-19 pandemic, NSO was notable to host in-person, on-campus orientationsduring the 2020 summer season. These challengesoffered a new and exciting opportunity to create anonline orientation experience for incoming studentsand their families. The online/virtual orientationexperience incorporated the same informationshared during an on-campus orientation, just ina digital format. The online/virtual experienceincorporated three elements: access to an orientationonline platform with informational modules, livevirtual breakout sessions on popular topics, and1:1 academic advising meeting with a professionaladvisor in their academic college. NSO partneredwith Advantage Design Group, a third-party vendorspecializing in online orientations, to develop acustomized sustainable online platform we willcontinue to use to complement the on-campusorientation experience in the future. To continue toprovide the much-desired opportunity for studentand family connectivity to the campus, we hosted livebreakout sessions on popular topics such as FinancialAid, Academic Scholarships, Housing & Meal Plans,Honors College, Paying for College, Meet OrientationLeaders, and a Q & A session. These breakoutsessions were highly attended with over 8,000participants who were able to connect and receiveanswers to their questions. We also used an afterorientation survey as an outreach tool and respondedto everyone who had questions or needed guidance.Providing Options for the Best ExperienceFor new incoming freshmen, transfer freshmen,and guests, NSO works hard to provide a varietyof orientation sessions and activities to customizethe orientation experience. The one-day orientationoption was popular for families who wished tohave a more expedited orientation experience. Thetwo-day session was favorable for students andfamilies whose desire it was to network and attendsessions that provided additional opportunitiesto connect with one another and various campusgroups. Regardless of which orientation a newstudent participates in, they receive informationthat helps them transition to the U of A. Our oncampus programs connect new students with currentundergraduate students serving as OrientationMentors. Students meet with their collegerepresentatives and academic advisors to register forclasses. Students are encouraged to bring guests andfamily members to orientation, as information andtransitional services are available for the entire family.New students are also provided various opportunitiesto connect with one another as well as introducethem to campus communities that will enhance theircollege experience. The New Student Orientationstaff, Orientation Mentors, Admissions, AcademicAdvisors, and the entire campus community worktogether to provide a smooth and seamless transitionfor new students to the University of Arkansas.Important information and connections to resourcesare highlighted throughout orientation. Transferstudents have the option of choosing either an oncampus or online orientation session designed tointroduce them to the many resources and officesavailable to support their success.

Orientation Leaders offer information fromfirst hand experiences that our new students andguests value. The NSO Leaders attend a two-weekmandatory residential training program in Maycovering university information helpful for their roleand leadership training, during a typical orientationseason. Of these leaders, up to 6 are classified asTeam Leads who provide leadership to other OLs andpartner with the professional staff to help ensureprograms are executed efficiently. Due to COVID-19,we had 4 Team Leads serve as our OrientationLeaders for the May and June 2020 sessions. Theyhosted live breakout sessions for every orientationwhere students and parents could connect and askcurrent students questions. Team Leads start theirtraining during the spring semester and they helpselect the upcoming OLs for the summer. Team Leadsare a valued member of the NSO staff as they provideadditional support and guidance to current and newstudents during the program. All Orientation Leadersgain valuable leadership skills and are provided anopportunity to grow professionally and connect withour new incoming students, their families and thegreater campus community at large.to each other. Even though COVID-19 changedthe orientation experience, we made sure to createas many opportunities as we could to still connectwith new students and their families virtually. Witheverything changing rapidly due to COVID-19,effective outreach and communication was evenmore important this year. We increased our outreachby providing information and guidance through email,text messaging, web content, letters, and phonecalls outside of our virtual orientation information.Partnerships with the academic advisors werekey to the overall success of hosting thousands ofnew students and their families through a virtualorientation experience. All new freshmen signed upfor orientation prior to mid-May were pre-enrolled ina number of courses for their academic major and anystudents wishing to change majors were able to doprior to or the day of their scheduled orientation.By the NumbersOver the course of the 2019-2020 fiscal orientationseason, we served a total of 6,717 new studentsthrough one of the various orientations we hostedthis fiscal year. This includes our on-campussessions as well as our online transfer and freshmanorientations we conducted due to COVID-19. Whilefamily members participated alongside their studentduring the summer 2020 season, we were ableto host 492 guests during our earlier on-campusorientation sessions.Meaningful Sessions for ConnectivityWe know that students and family members valueeffective communication throughout the admissionprocess. New Student Orientation, along withthe communication team, continued to build aneffective communication flow for admitted students,encouraging them to sign up for orientation assoon as they are admitted. After registering for anorientation session, students and parents receivecommunication pieces that guide them all theway through orientation.
