NCC: Recruitment materials

 Collection
Identifier: NCCA-C076

Scope and Contents

This collection contains recruitment materials created by the College for prospective students. Since these are intended to be used for multiple years, dates are not included and not readily determinable. Organized by subject material, the majority of publications relate to academic programs and general North Central information. Publications relating to academic programs are usually brochures that pertain either to one major or its general subject area. Also included in academic programs are publications concerning weekend, evening, and summer classes as well as graduate programs.

The general publications are brochures, pamphlets, and newsletters that market North Central College. These publications are organized chronologically. This collection also contains publications on church relations, financial aid, and prospective student visit days. Two folders of presentation materials which were likely used in a presentation given by College staff to prospective students are also included. Both presentations contain photographs attached to information pages.

Images of an admissions campaign with selected "I-posters" from the early 2000s, and at-a-glance brochures starting in 2023 are available in digital format.

Biographical / Historical

Over the years, the President’s Office, Admissions Office, Office of Public Information, Office of Marketing and Communication, and the Director of Enrollment Marketing have all created and produced admission marketing materials designed for prospective students. The NCC admissions campaign using I-posters received a silver medal at the 19th Annual Admissions Advertising Awards Competition presented by HMR Publications Group. The I- posters, measuring 18 inches wide by 36 inches tall, hung around campus. Postcards for a direct mail campaign also used some of the same images as the posters.
