**[Key Strategies]{.smallcaps}**

[Strategies]{.underline} [Continued from 1999]{.underline}

None.

# New or Strengthened Strategies

##### Recruit good students by targeting high-ability students in schools across the country; by convening summer high school counselors in a symposium and honors student weekend; by encouraging alumni to identify and contact high-ability students; and by expanding publicity on student leaders and achievers, as well as outstanding programs.

##### Increase retention and graduation rates by improving orientation programs; by replacing the Mid-term Deficiency Report with a Midterm Status Report to alert all undergraduate students of their standing at midterm; by continuing regular assessment of students' academic standings; by convening faculty adviser workshops; and by providing written correspondence to faculty on retention goals and issues.

##### Implement degree adult program.

##### Expand research support by improving postaward grant administration and faculty support by the Office of Research Administration; by conducting faculty workshops on "how to win grants and contracts"; by increasing the distribution of grant announcements; and by installing computer workstations for all full-time faculty.

##### Continue to monitor external money managers who invest Howard's endowment fund to ensure continued healthy returns.

##### Improve fundraising by conducting a national media campaign with articles in national publications (e.g., the New York Times, Washington Post, Christian Science Monitor, Chronicle of Higher Education) featuring Howard University; by intensifying and broadening the direct mail campaign; by inaugurating an annual fund campaign and a systematic program of communication with alumni; by continuing to manage to contain costs; by continuing marketing efforts to feature recent improvements in equipment and service; and by undertaking a long-term strategic planning effort spearheaded by a special committee from the Howard University Board of Trustees.

**[How This Program Coordinates]{.smallcaps}** **[With Other Federal
Activities]{.smallcaps}**

-   Efforts under this initiative are coordinated with the White House
    Initiative on Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs)
    and Title III.

**[Challenges to Achieving Program Goal]{.smallcaps}**

##### There are a number of factors beyond the control of Howard University that can affect student recruitment, retention, and graduation rates.

##### Marketwide stock market fluctuations significantly influence endowment growth.

##### Finally, economic conditions and changes in the health care industry also potentially affect Howard University's efforts toward fiscal independence of the University Hospital.
