Enrollment forecasting to determine campus wide needs for programs and course selection. Formal process to strengthen high school connections and collaborations in order to enhance dual enrollment, concurrent enrollment with an enhanced opportunity to predict, articulate and process these students’ needs. Better serve international student needs with continued outreach to enhance their student/college experience.

Utilization of best practices and transfer-ability of successful programs to other areas or new programs. Greater and more variable student life activities in order to strengthen college connectedness.

Strengthen Internal and External Communications – strategic marketing, business and community outreach, community partner outreach, high school/adult school/early college outreach, promotion of programs and services offered in order to drive or increase enrollment, demonstrating student success, establish a career pathway to assist students in understanding career opportunities. Greater incorporation of advisory board views as a part of the campus decision making processes.
