'What are Teens Thinking About Their College Choices?' 'What are Teens Thinking About Their College Choices?'

The campus community is invited to hear "What Are Teens Thinking About Their College Choices?" at 1:30 p.m. Wednesday, March 30, in the Marcus Welcome Center Wallace Auditorium. The presentation will be made by Eric Sickler, principal consultant with Stamats and author of TeensTALK.

Stamats' annual TeensTALK study has earned a reputation as one of higher education's benchmark research resources, offering valuable insight into the trends, attitudes, lifestyles and knowledge of traditional-aged, college-bound students. Fine-tuned each year to address current issues, TeensTALK collects information regarding:

- How high school students define "quality" as it relates to college selection
- Preferred channels and methods of communication at inquiry, application, admission and deposited stages of the recruitment cycle
- Key indicators of how students determine a good "fit" with a particular college or university, and
- Most important predictors of success after college graduation, as identified and understood during the college-selection process.
