Evidence
Our recruitment efforts have slowly gained momentum. We have steadily increased the number of undergraduates involved in the ESPRIT Noyce project.

Proposal
This workshop is designed to support recipients of newly-awarded Noyce projects in developing a plan for recruiting science majors to teaching. We will briefly present the recruitment strategies that we have designed during the first two years of our Noyce project with critiques from colleagues (e.g., UO School of Journalism, UO Development/fund raising). We will present “before and after” versions of recruiting flyers for science majors, project summaries for undergraduate advisors, powerpoint presentations and a 3-minute video to be shown in large, undergraduate science courses. Each of these recruiting materials has been revised (and will continue to be revised) based on feedback from students and design-experts. We will allow time and provide templates for attendees to draft/revise their recruitment plans and materials.
