Recruits

This year's Christmas movies are actually better than my expectations. Being alone in Moncton gives me additional incentive to see movies.
Before the feature presentations, we have the advertisements. Besides the upcoming movie previews, there are clips advertising university education. Mount Saint Vincent in Halifax, University of New Brunswick in Saint John are among those who advertises in the big screen, big sound room.
There is a significant drop in first year enrolment in most universities around the Maritimes. The competition to recruit good students is fierce. ABU, being a small liberal arts university, receives no subsidies from the government and rely heavily on tuition fees. It is virtually impossible to do a lot of advertising because of financial reasons. However, we can be more active in personal recruiting. We can go to local high schools, contact youth pastors across Canada as well as international private high schools. One of the advantages in studying in ABU is the amazing low international student fees, why don't we take advantage of this and start going to private international high schools in Canada?
