In 1994 we engaged the Noel Levitz Center for Enrollment Management, a national consulting firm, to conduct an analysis of enrollment management operations. Stabilization and modest turnaround in first year enrollments in 1997 suggest resources to support recruitment are at a level to reach our enrollment goals. However, the activities of Enrollment Management must be effectively coordinated with other University recruitment efforts. Until 1992, all student services, from admissions to international students to counseling, reported to a Vice President for Student Services. Directors of Admissions , Financial Aid , and the Career Center now report to the Executive Director of Enrollment Management.
Staff is experienced, qualified, and sufficient to carry out their tasks.
Most directors have over 10 years experience in their fields, and the Executive Director has nearly 30 years of experience. Admissions has 11 staff, including 7 recruiters, one of whom specifically recruits underrepresented students, and Financial Aid has 9 staff. Organized by territory, our recruiters have goal-setting and budget responsibilities. Freshman and transfer admissions are handled by Admissions, and international admissions are handled by International Programs. In 1995, a new director of Admissions was hired through a national search.
