NASPA and NILOA 11:30 a.m.: Welcome by Cleveland State Community College President: Dr. William Seymour - Tom Green, AACRAO Lunch Keynote We have often heard the adage that "enrollment is everyone's responsibility." When it comes time to implement that thought, many enrollment professionals are frustrated at the lack of buy-in for enrollment work by colleagues, often faculty members, who have such a strong impact on enrollment outcomes. This session will focus on the organization dynamics of SEM: how institutions can approach SEM planning and SEM implementation to involve all areas of the college. Using SEM Organizational Frameworks by Dr. Green and his co-author, Dr. Bob Bontgrager, in the Handbook of Strategic Enrollment Management, the relationships between executive leadership, recruitment and retention teams, data and project steering will be explored. 1:00 2:00p.m Breakout Session #2 – Track 1: Strategic Enrollment Planning: Building Enrollment Through Strategic Retention. Presenter: Tom Green, AACRAO Abstract There is more pressure than ever for institutions to improve the outcomes of their students. Higher graduation rates and improved retention rates not only mean better reports to boards and systems but relieve financial pressures through increased revenues. Not to mention that perhaps the most important reason to increase outcomes is the success of our students in meeting their educational goals. This session will provide a process framework for looking at retention and student success, as well as some practical examples of how this has been implemented at colleges and universities. Participants will learn the role of data and analysis in determining areas of focus, the role of benchmarking in retention work, and the importance of integrating faculty into retention planning and implementation.
