The recruitment toolkit you never knew you had!

NNE

What is the NNE?

Was established to help match graduate schools withminority students interested in graduate education.The National Name Exchange seeks to:• Increase the number of qualified minority students

accepted into graduate school; • Improve student access to information on graduate school

opportunities.• Work towards personalizing the recruitment effort by

designating a National Name Exchange institutional & department representatives to facilitate information exchange between the institution and prospective students.

• Assist graduate schools (and depts) in identifying qualified minority candidates for consideration for graduate study.

How Do Students Benefit?

Participating in the National Name Exchange has really been valuable to me. It’s been an eye opening experience. It really feels good when top institutions contact you to let you know about their graduate programs. This has taught me not to limit myself when applying to graduate school and to aim for nothing less than the stars. — Student Participant, University of Maryland

I am hearing from schools that I’m not sure I would have pursued otherwise, such as Harvard,

Stanford, and Berkeley. Student Participant, University of Florida —
