I am a mathematics professor in a small, good but non-elite department in the US. Several of my colleagues and I would like to work to improve our recruitment of strong prospective Ph.D. students.
We do not really know how to go about this most effectively. Obviously it is difficult, but -- what are some good ways to do this, in addition to
- maintaining a useful and informative departmental webpage,
- serving our present Ph.D. students as well as we can, making sure they are happy, and (hopefully!) helping them to land good jobs,
- maintaining our own research programs, and
- continuing to network and maintain professional connections with colleagues at other universities?
Edit: I see this question is related, although in my case recruiting is handled on a departmental rather than individual basis.
