Online Chats
Online Chats are administered through Chat University, a program that allows Fort Hays faculty and staff to interact with a specific group of interested individuals. For example, the Department of Teacher Education might want to host an online chat with its prospective undergraduate students on specific date and time. The department is responsible for sending out e-mail announcements to those students who have declared an interest in the program, and setting up a time and date for the chat to take place. Then, as the students begin to log on with questions, faculty and staff from FHSU can answer their questions and begin to build the relationships that are so important to our students.

A training program is provided for FHSU faculty and staff who will be administering the online chats.

Listserv E-mails
Large databases are currently and can be produced to allow for certain individuals to receive e-mails announcing upcoming events, program offerings, and other recruitment information.
These mass e-mails are easy to send, can provide feedback from interested parties, and are a free opportunity to market your department.
