>Enrollments at the University of Iowa are up from the last few years. I'm not
>sure if that is directly linked to our advertising, but we ran a large
>promotional campaign last year. A student created a promotional video for us
>which we sent out to a number of high schools in Iowa. We also had the video
>playing at freshman orientation. Our department has participated in several
>community charity events for which we have made t-shirts (written in
Russian),
>which have gone over quite well with our students and have served as
>additional advertising. We have concentrated on building relationships with
>our current students (through social events, such as film screenings,
>conversation table opportunities and cultural events), and have found that
>they are our most powerful advertising (they do a lot of recruiting for us!).
>We hope that this very positive trend continues.
