Kentucky State University Division of Student Success and Enrollment Management

Report to the Board of Regents

October 2012

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The title for the Division of Student Affairs and Enrollment Management has been changed to the Division of Student Success and Enrollment Management (SSEM). This change represents the University's effort to promote excellence in learning experiences and outcomes and to foster intellectual and personal development of all learners for life and careers in a global society.

Dr. Lorenzo L. Esters has been appointed Vice President for the new area, effective August 6, 2012. Since his appointment, the focus has been on three primary areas:

  1. Assessing current strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats for the new area;
  2. Developing short-term strategies to shore up enrollment; and
  3. Realigning organizational structures and enhancing processes to more effectively support student success

Assessing Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats

The Division has released a Request for Proposals (RFP). The purpose of the RFP is to identify a qualified firm to assist in the development of a comprehensive marketing, recruitment, and retention plan to guide enrollment management efforts and provide ongoing consulting to assist with implementing the plan. As a result of this RFP, the division will:

  • Perform an internal and external environmental analysis and forecast future enrollment trends;
  • Recognize and articulate current institutional position and direction;
  • Effect business process improvements (i.e., customer focused policies and processes);
  • Outline objectives and desired outcomes and strategies to achieve them;
  • Assign responsibility for strategies to specific individuals;
  • Set forth an evaluation mechanism to measure progress and redirect efforts, it necessary;
  • Provide a complete retention assessment determining whether financial aid or other factors were involved in students' decisions to return the following fall: and
  • Develop an annual plan for linking enrollment goals to financial aid strategies.

Development of short-term strategies to shore up enrollment

The University's overall enrollment has decreased from a total of 2,746 in Fall 2011 to 2,524 in Fall 2012 representing an 8.08% decrease in overall enrollment. Other Fall 2012 enrollment highlights include:

* Fall 2012 data is preliminary

The Division is engaged in several short-term efforts to enhance enrollment numbers for Fall 2013 to include:

  • Assessing recruitment/marketing—there are two internal recruitment campaigns underway to increase the number of academically prepared students who enroll at KSU including a Departmental Recruitment Campaign titled “Best of the Best” and an alumni recruitment campaign titled, “Each One Recruit One.” The focus of both is to target academically prepared students in the Kentucky Region for enrollment at KSU in Fall 2013.
  • More effectively partnering with community colleges—the Division is working with several KCTCS to host recruitment fairs on their campuses and to bring students to KSU for campus visits. A special Community

College Transfer Conference is being scheduled for Spring 2013 and will bring a minimum of 200 community college transfer students to the University campus.

- Focusing on Hispanic Recruitment—the Division is working to target programs specifically to generate interest among the Hispanic population given the increasing demographics of Hispanics in the Commonwealth. Several programs have been scheduled to inform these communities about KSU and to generate interest in attending the University.

Realignment of organizational structures and enhancement of processes to more effectively support student success

Current and ongoing realignments are scheduled for the area based on the results of assessments of processes and the findings from the firm hired as a result of the RFP. Initial realignments have included dividing the Division into three programmatic areas and adding one additional Assistant Vice President. The three areas include:

  1. Assistant Vice President for Enrollment Services: This area will include primary responsibility for the recruitment of students
  2. Assistant Vice President for Student Engagement and Leadership Development: This area will focus on the effective engagement of students outside of the classroom through living/learning communities, campus activities and leadership development.
  3. Assistant Vice President for Retention Management and Advising Services: This new area will include a specific focus on academic advising, tutorial services and academic support services.

All three areas are expected to be filled by early November 2012.
