| Abstract | This publication was written in response to a need among colleges of agriculture to examine alternative recruitment strategies. It assesses efforts by the University of Georgia's College of Agriculture to recruit students through an annual campus visitation program entitled "Ag Horizons: A Career Institute." Since 1984, Ag Horizons has brought selected high school students to the Univesity for a 3-day visit to programs and facilities. The goals of the program are to recruit students of high academic quality and to provide a better understanding of, and a greater appreciation for, agriculture. This report details student characteristics, such as age, gender, background, school activities, parents' occupations, siblings, and family's level of education and then provides a program evaluation based on the postconference questionnaire administered to students at the end of each Ag Horizons program. The data indicated that Ag Horizons had a positive effect on student plans to attend college, on student plans to attend the University of Georgia as freshmen, and on student plans to enroll in the University of Georgia's College of Agriculture. Includes 11 references. (JDD) |
