What Are People Saying About NRCCUA?
David Melton
ROCKHURST UNIVERSITY ABOUT: NRCCUA
I have used NRCCUA's search lists for many years and find them to be one of the most reliable
sources for the type of accurate, academically qualified student search criteria we
require. They collect highly specific student profile areas that allow us to target
very specific audiences. In fact, we enrolled our largest freshmen class ever here at
Rockhurst University - 420 students. Of those, 280 came from search lists - all sources. But of
those 280 students - clearly 125 of them are directly attributable to NRCCUA. I would
definitely recommend NRCCUA search lists to any of my colleagues.

BERKLEE COLLEGE OF MUSIC ABOUT: NRCCUA
Working for an institution with specific niche requirements of our applicant pool, I have found
the NRCCUA to be an excellent resource for our student search campaigns, benefiting both our
feeder and full-time programs. With an incredibly approachable and knowledgeable sales
staff pulled from top higher education professionals, working to achieve the goals of our
institution has become a streamlined process. I am confident the NRCCUA will be at the
cutting edge of innovative approaches to communicating and selecting the highest-quality
candidates, backed by an excellent customer service staff to ensure any questions or
inquiries are answered completely and thoroughly. When you are the world's premier
institution for the study of contemporary music, you expect the highest-quality applicants. NRCCUA
has delivered and continues to deliver that to us.

Jason Pieratt
UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY ABOUT: NRCCUA
NRCCUA is a great company to work with to identify prospective students to meet enrollment
goals. Our institution does utilize other companies to identify talent besides NRCCUA but
the relationship doesn't go much further than a username and password. However, our NRCCUA
Enrollment Consultant, Karen Myhre, works individually with us to create prospective students
lists whenever we need them, she advocates to enhance the NRCCUA product with features that we
specifically ask for, and she has even visited our campus twice this past year to discuss our
NRCCUA account, products, and other services that could help us meet enrollment goals. I
highly recommend other universities to use the NRCCUA TIP service because of the quality of
this lists, pricing, and the information they provide about student interests and academic
preparation.

BLUEFIELD COLLEGE ABOUT: NRCCUA
The thing I have been impressed with is how my Enrollment Consultant, Karen Myhre has been at
my beck and call when I have questions and concerns. You all are a large company and that
kind of customer service is usually reserved for the smaller companies. I appreciate the
great service along with your wonderful programs. The Talent Identification Program® allows
us to select students by the criteria we deem important. Karen's help in running multiple
lists to help us determine that perfect profile has been invaluable.

THE CITADEL ABOUT: NRCCUA
We have used the NRCCUA Talent Identification Program for over 15 years and consider it one
of our primary sources of prospective students. With the ability to be very specific in the
students' interest and goals as we develop our search parameters, we are able to realize a
strong return on our initial contacts. We could not ask for stronger customer service. Our
sales consultant, Randy Condit, is always available and tuned in to our specific needs. NRCCUA's
services have directly assisted our ability to meet our enrollment goals.

Debroh Bandy
EMBRY-RIDDLE AERONAUTICAL UNIVERSITY ABOUT: NRCCUA
We have consistently had excellent results from the searches we conduct with names purchased
through NRCCUA's Talent Identification Program. I credit a great deal of our success to the
insight that our representative consultant, Mary Napier, provides. She understands Embry-Riddle
Aeronautical University, and together we have been able to strategically approach identifying
those students who may have an interest in our programs. The "R" for research is not just part
of their name, it is what they do for us and it is what sets them apart from any of the other
sources from which we could purchase search names.

HIGH POINT UNIVERSITY ABOUT: NRCCUA
We are very excited about the NRCCUA's new Declared Student Connection - because we're
receiving complete profile information on grade 9-12 students who have already
indicated (through My College Options) that High Point University is one of their top
choices for college. This program fits very well with our goals of reaching out early to
students who already have an interest and would like to explore opportunities at HPU.

LINFIELD COLLEGE ABOUT: NRCCUA
"On behalf of Linfield College in Oregon, I have been working with NRCCUA for countless years. I
consider our enrollment consultant, Dwayne Smith, as a professional guide, enrollment mentor
and professional colleague-friend. He is always available to assist Linfield in seeking the best
ways to fulfill our enrollment goals. Additionally, he understands Linfield and is respectful of
our needs - he doesn't try to "sell" me products that aren't appropriate to our admission program.
Currently, we use the Talent Identification Program as part of our search efforts, My College
Options® Outreach Program, My College Options® Matched and Declared Student Connection,
eProspector, and the Enrollment Power Index. I have been very satisfied with these products.
I would be happy to discuss my experiences with these products with other admission/enrollment
managers."

VIRGINA TECH CORPS OF CADETS ABOUT: NRCCUA
As a senior military college, we've been faced with a tough recruiting market, but we've
used both the cost-saving eProspector email service and the broader reach of the College-Bound
Outreach Deck to help us increase our applications by 50%! Facing a tightened budget going forward,
we're going to be relying on these services to reach out to the students we may not have found
otherwise.

PEACE COLLEGE ABOUT: NRCCUA
NRCCUA's new State/Regional Outreach program delivers a real advantage in my recruitment. Not
only does it include a home delivered four color message to college bound juniors and
sophomores in my home state and surrounding regions it stays in contact with those same
students every month for 12 months with reminders and web links that showcase our college
and offerings on www.mycollegeoptions.org. We all know that today's students spend most of their
time online, so this service does it all home delivery, email, online college profile and
response options that allow students to inquire, schedule a campus visit or even apply. It's
cost effective and very easy to use. All I have to do is download my inquiries!

Mark L. Hipes
BLUEFIELD COLLEGE ABOUT: NRCCUA
We are pleased with our student response to our participation in NRCCUA's Conservative Christian
Outreach. It is such a unique product offering, to be able to target students interested in a
Christian college. Combining a direct mail card that includes multiple response options; paper,
web and text and then a full year of Automated Online Search to continue promoting Bluefield
College to those same students, all I can say is WOW!

Lakeisha Phelps
OLD DOMINION ABOUT: NRCCUA
I would highly recommend, SMART Approach® from NRCCUA. I wasn't familiar with predictive
modeling or what it could do for our outreach - but the expert consultants at NRCCUA and
Noel Levitz made the entire process easy. It's amazing to have so many experts on your team
who support your goals and genuinely want to see your outreach and enrollments
increase. Having a model score based on a student's likelihood to enroll has allowed us to
more accurately target students that meet our enrollment goals and objectives. My results
continue to exceed my expectations, and I'd highly recommend SMART Approach and NRCCUA to any
of my colleagues who want to build a long term strategy for recruiting and enrolling more of
their ideal students.

Sherry Quinn, M.A.
MARYGROVE COLLEGE ABOUT: NRCCUA
Any college or university wanting to search more effectively should investigate NRCCUA's new SMART Approach® program. Even a small private
college like ours was able to determine in advance through a proven predictive model
which students in the NRCCUA database had the highest likelihood to enroll. We were able
to identify the right students before I even purchased the list. The team involvement between
NRCCUA, Noel Levitz and myself has been great, and their support and expertise is
excellent. I'm now very confident my results will be on target.

CHARLESTON SOUTHERN UNIVERSITY ABOUT: NRCCUA
"When searching for students, colleges and universities need every added
strategy available - to encourage students to respond to your institution. NRCCUA's
new Automated Online Search energizes our direct mail by adding an "online"
search component. This is a great service! Their advanced technology allows students
chosen in my NRCCUA search list - to be "nudged" every month for 12 months along with our
direct mail campaign. At the same time, our school is showcased on NRCCUA's
MyCollegeOptions.org website. I highly recommend including this enhancement every time you
order names from NRCCUA."

this service. Your team is so pleasant to work with and very patient as we make changes and tweaks to our
