● Slightly raise merchandise prices (2.5%) ● Decrease laundry to 75¢ per load ● Improve overall social media presence With these recommendations, I believe you could retain current students for longer and appeal to more potential students. The main reason students are leaving Central Washington University (and many other Universities/Colleges) is due to the unaffordability. While the current economic climate is not the college’s responsibility to fix, it is crucial that the welfare of its students is #1. Just because other Higher Education Facilities are increasing their tuition does not mean that is what’s best nor what will work for Central. CWU already has an amazing LinkedIn page, wonderful people, fun student events, the friendliest town nearby and so much potential. Nevertheless, when that potential is not used optimally, it will eventually reach its own downfall. Please heed the aforementioned advice and take it into genuine consideration as it is well intentioned.
