Minutes of December 2, 1999 Meeting

The Enrollment Management Team (EMT) met on December 2, 1999, with the following members present: Ruth Ann Balla, Celeste Brogdon, Sandra Close, Rebecca Duncan, Gordon Folger, Ann Gleason, Mary Johnson, Sue Kearney, Carol Kercheval, Jeannie Morelock, Philip Roof, and LaRose Spooner, Chair. The minutes of the previous meeting were approved. LaRose then asked the EMT members for feedback on the suggestion of adding a representative from the accounting office to the group, and the EMT concurred on the value of such an addition.

Sue presented enrollment projections for 2000-01, which would be used in the budgeting process, and provided explanatory comments for how the figures had been derived. Gordon moved and Sandra seconded the motion that the enrollment projections be approved by the EMT. The motion was unanimously approved. Sue will forward this information to Mr. Taylor. (A copy of the projections is attached to the official minutes.)

Sue next led the group in further discussion of the Report and Recommendations of the Retention Strategies Work Group. Several of the items were edited and the group then endorsed the report of this work group. (A copy of the final edited version is attached to the official minutes.) Sue and LaRose will plan to circulate a copy of the recommendations to the various people who will be asked to implement/consider the ideas as early in the spring semester as possible.

LaRose asked for reactions to the idea of EMT members providing information sessions for the college community on issues and ideas related to recruitment and retention. The group responded positively to this suggestion. Individual members are to inform LaRose of particular topics that they might like to present or to have presented by someone on the Team.

Carol informed the EMT of plans to expand the Search project this spring from 30,000 to 60,000 names. This expansion will allow for more qualified out-of-state prospective students to be targeted in the sophomore and junior years of high school.

The EMT set its meetings for the spring semester as follows: January 6, February 3, March 2, and April 6. The January meeting will be held from 9:00 am - 12:00 noon. All others will be held from 9:00 am - 10:30 am. The meeting was then adjourned.
