[PLW1]We need to be careful here so that student don’t start assuming Bas are not welcome. Suggest we use Bachelor-MPH uniformly.

[S2]Resolved plw

[PLW3]Confused: required to be UofL student. Why outside UofL? I doubt other institutions will spend effort getting students to transfer.

[S4]PLW Resolved

[PLW5]How were thse determined?

[S6]PLW No comprehensive method; needs to follw Buy-in by WaLTON

[PLW7]And separate one for Bachekor-MPH.

[S8]PLW Add to Melissa’s tasks.

[PLW9]Why freshmen and when? Maybe after first semester. We don’t want to be in competition bacuse we’re not. Maybe rising sophomores?

[S10]Do during freshman orientation, not how to apply, however. PLW

[th11]Other recruitment mechanisms include UofL Today announcement, student news on Ulink, Freshman Orientation guide, Cardinal Newspaper and student organizations.
