Description
Physics departments throughout the world share a concern that threatens their well-being and existence: low student enrolments. The Effective Practices for Physics Programs (EP3) Guide (ep3guide.org) provides a set of practices and strategies to help with both the recruitment and the retention of students. In this workshop, we will describe the EP3 Guide, present data from US universities about threats to departments, and discuss a scenario from a fictional large department to show how the EP3 Guide can be used to help a department respond, gather data to help make decisions, and make changes to improve enrolment.
