Grad Week Highlights
Thank you so much for helping us put on the first-ever Grad Week at Queen's for student recruitment. We reached a lot of students and learned lots along the way to make improvements for next year.
In particular, we would like to thank the following departments for participating either by hosting events throughout the week or for providing volunteers for student panels:
- Cultural Studies
- Art History
- Geography & Planning
- English
- Drama and Music (Arts Leadership)
- Chemistry
- Environmental Studies
Thanks also to individual students from SKHS and Biology that came forward to volunteer as well.
Overall, we reached 72,001 people through our advertising and promotions, over 5,820 people engaged with us during the campaigns in some way (a share, a like, a video watch, etc.), over 540 people registered for events and over 365 attended events throughout the week.
Here's some feedback we received:
"Grad Week was very helpful" - follow up survey
"Love this." Facebook Live Campus Tour
"I'm so glad this was organized, I'm been accepted to two programs and was going to have to pick one of their invite days, as I wouldn't be able to come to Kingston twice, but with this day I was able to cover both departments off in one day." In-person day participant
"Well - I came thinking my only option was one department, and now I have three paths I could take."
"I didn't know you offered business type programs (referring to MEERL)."
"I went for the food, but now I'm actually considering Arts Leadership."
See the
attached report for a breakdown of the campaign results and recommendations for next year. If you have additional ideas or feedback, please
let us know.
