Based on activities at the Trumbull Campus of Kent State University, this guidebook presents suggestions for the implementation and operation of a series of informational workshops designed as a vehicle for the recruitment and orientation of adults who are considering enrolling in college. The guidebook first gives a rationale for the workshops and then discusses the steps in workshop planning, including choosing a coordinator, engaging the help of currently enrolled students in a peer support group, determining the topics to be discussed, and selecting a meaningful title for the workshop series. This is followed by a description of the four topics covered by Trumbull's own program: (1) the types of degrees available, program and course content, and employment opportunities for each degree program; (2) the types and relative merits of all of the educational institutions in the area serving adults; (3) the availability of financial aid and personal and academic counseling; and (4) the identification of potential personal problems. The guidebook then discusses publicity for the workshop, such as flyers and newspaper advertisements; support services for workshop participants, including child care and refreshments; the utilization of questionnaires to facilitate workshop evaluation and to determine participant characteristics and needs; and workshop follow-up. Survey instruments are appended. (JP)
