Goal
The University will better
coordinate and expand its efforts to make the broader public, the educational
community, alumni, the University community and prospective students aware of

areas of excellence that are faithful to the Universitys mission,
identity and strategic plan as a basis for institutional marketing.
Examples of key themes could include:
- The Magis: The University of
Scranton manifests the Jesuit tradition of academic excellence through the
achievements of its faculty as teachers and scholars and through the
accomplishments of its students.
- Habits of Achievement: The University
continues its long-standing tradition of forming regional and national leaders
in the professions and in the business world.
- Men and Women for Others: The
University is a community of "men and women for others," whose
students, faculty and staff are especially committed to serving the people
whose lives they touch.
- Educating the Whole Person: The
University realizes the Jesuit maxim of care for the whole person. It offers
its students personal, caring interaction, in the classroom and elsewhere in
campus activities, and its seeks to graduate men and women of discernment,
whose lives are guided by moral principles and religious convictions.
- Technology: The University embraces
technology as a tool for instruction, research and service to students.
- The Campus: The University provides
for its students, faculty and staff a physical environment that is conducive to
learning and living.
- Implement the Integrated Marketing Plan that supports recruitment
efforts for undergraduate, graduate and continuing education students.

- Implement the ongoing strategy contained in the
Integrated Marketing Plan to inform the broader educational community
(especially other Catholic and Jesuit colleges, universities and high schools,
feeder schools for prospective students, and colleges and universities in the
North) about the Universitys areas of excellence and the key themes.
See Enrollment Management Goal III, Objective A.

Goal
The University should evaluate the success of the
efforts identified in Goal I and should incorporate the results of that
evaluation into its future planning.

of marketing efforts on prospective traditional and non-traditional students.
See Enrollment Management Goal III, Objective B.
-
- Periodically assess the effectiveness of efforts to
reach alumni, the educational community and the general public. See

- Strengthen the Universitys standing in
various college guides by reviewing its listings and those of peer and aspirant
institutions and by identifying actual or perceived areas of weakness that
should be addressed by appropriate divisions.

results of market research to academic and administrative departments for use
in evaluating existing programs and developing new ones. See Faculty
