During the months of March and April, University of Nebraska–Lincoln’s Academic Services and Enrollment Management will host a series of engagement opportunities for faculty and staff to build and expand their knowledge of strategic enrollment management, enabling collaborative and collective contributions to the university’s enrollment-related goals and priorities.
Participants will learn how their position and area functions contribute to the university's implementation of strategic enrollment management, a comprehensive process for an institution to achieve and maintain optimal enrollment. A robust institutional implementation of strategic enrollment management encompasses every aspect of the university from functional areas to its culture. Furthermore, it relies on greater institutional effectiveness and efficiency throughout the university.
Leaders from Academic Services and Enrollment Management will lead activities and facilitate discussions exploring four strategic enrollment management domains aligned with university constituents’ roles and functional areas. Four engagement opportunities will be offered, each focused on one domain.
The domains are:
- Student | The student experience is the focal point for programmatic priorities, decisions and actions that maximize student satisfaction, engagement and success.
- Market | Responding to an external market that has unique dynamics and realities that impact enrollment growth and sustainability. Works to achieve optimal exposure, reach and performance for the university and its programs.
- Administrative | In support of enrollment growth and sustainability, an organization aligns structures, policies, processes, procedures and practices. The institution’s operational and organizational effectiveness are essential to student and organizational success.
- Academic | As academic programs and new curriculum are developed, delivered and reviewed the university’s enrollment goals are top-of-mind and aligned. All the while working to strengthen the university’s academic core, service peripheries and mission-critical functions of teaching, learning and assessment.
The session dates, each focused on a specific domain are as follows:
- March 18 | Market
- March 26 | Administrative
- April 14 | Academic
- April 15 | Student
