University of Dayton Application Increase is Six Times National Average: Comprehensive Rebrand Prepares University for Perfect Demographic

DAYTON, Ohio (Business Wire EON) March 11, 2008 -- Applications were hovering around 8,000 in previous years but spiked to 11,224 in 2008, the most in the university's history. Additionally, average applicant SAT scores rose as predicted by the implementation of increased application requirements. This impressive swell is the result of a comprehensive marketing effort on the part of UD.

According to the 2007 State of College Admission report, the number of high school graduates will peak at 3.3 million in 2008-2009 with a dramatic downturn in student population as early as 2010. This drop in population is converging with additional factors such as lower college-going rates among students and increasing tuitions, creating higher education's "Perfect Demographic Storm."

Recognizing that this trend would lead to fewer applications for schools nationwide, UD moved forward with a strategic rebrand to prepare for the decline. Under the direction of University President Dr. Daniel J. Curran, UD reinforced their brand with a distinct and consistent look, feel, and messaging that expressed the benefits of a Marianist education. Premium undergraduate recruitment materials and tactics were developed to clearly define and communicate their Marianist Educational Philosophy to educate students for a career while helping them develop into intelligent, aware, and involved global citizens.

"We're trying to get everyone to remember one thing: UD is a top-ten, top-tier Catholic university. We are stating boldly and clearly who we are," said Sundar Kumarasamy, Vice President of Enrollment Management.

The response to this focused communication was impressive application growth. Incoming class size will remain the same however, allowing UD to be more selective during the application process. As the university accepts students of a higher caliber, the school's academic reputation is also elevated.

"Upholding a distinguished academic reputation is imperative as we approach the brink of the 'Perfect Demographic Storm,'" said Kumarasamy. "As our academic reputation increases it eliminates the need to compromise on the quality of students even if there is an overall decrease in applicants."

Building upon the measured success of enrollment management, the university plans to extend the new brand across their graduate study programs and alumni communications beginning in the summer of 2008.
