As mentioned in an earlier post, one of the problems that our department has struggled with over the past seven or eight years is the massive decline in student enrolments in our Computer Information Systems applied degreee and our Computer Science university transfer program. This year for the College's Open House for new students, I put together a series of posters that tried to put a friendlier spin on our two programs.
Aware that potental students often hold a series of very negative stereotypes about the CS/CIS profession, I tried to make the posters focus on a few atttractive ideas about what benefits a CS/CIS career can bring a student. These posters were then tacked up in our booth.
