Worried About Recruitment, Retention, and Fundraising During COVID-19?

One of the many findings that came out of our recent COVID-19 survey was the importance of communication. Transparent, direct, and consistent communication with parents, faculty, and students is critical right now. Our campuses are closed, and our students are home. Life at school has changed for the foreseeable future. It is more important now than ever before that schools prove their VALUE. Re-enrollment contracts are due, prospective families are making enrollment decisions, the annual fund continues…all important reasons why communication, connection, and a sense of community remain critical. 

The attention we pay to our community TODAY will most definitely pay off TOMORROW with recruitment, retention, and fundraising. 

Gowan Group is offering two inexpensive services to help schools remain connected to their communities. 

1)    We are offering a series of surveys to let schools learn from their parents, students, and faculty to make informed decisions on how to improve the virtual experience and understand what the community needs and thinks. 

a.     Pulse surveys: periodic quick surveys to take the “pulse” of the community
