Description

Surveys of physics department chairs show that one of the most common threats faced by departments in 2022 were low student enrollments, sometimes putting the whole department in threat of closure. The 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 discuss a scenario from a fictional large department and discuss how the EP3 Guide can be used to address help the department make changes to improve enrollment.
