2011 EM Division Kick-Off Laura Stoll, Interim Vice Provost and Dean for Enrollment Management

EM Mission The Division of Enrollment Management coordinates enrollment services for the university, working collaboratively with the academic units, student affairs and administrative units to identify and implement processes that exceed student/constituent expectations and university goals.

EM Overview Created in 2001, the Division of Enrollment Management is designed to coordinate enrollment services for the university, while working collaboratively with the academic units, student affairs and administrative units to achieve and maintain the institution's desired student profile. The EM division has seven units and six committees which have implemented research, recruitment and retention processes designed to meet, and hopefully exceed, student expectations and the university’s strategic plan goals. S&T’s Enrollment Management team has focused on improving enrollment strategies to maximize the resources of the institution. A strong focus on data, business processes, applications of technology, and a team-work atmosphere have yielded positive results. S&T is breaking national trends: large growth in engineering, science and computing students 56% growth in total enrollment since 2000 (2010: 7206 enrolled, 2000: 4626 enrolled) Record student success rates: 88% retention rate (highest in UM system) Diversity Success: – Largest minority student enrollment in school history. 716 students enrolled (10% of total enrollment), 90% increase in minority student enrollment since fall 2000 – Largest female student enrollment in school history. 53% Growth in Female Enrollment: 560 additional female students since fall 2000 Net revenue goals achieved FY05 – FY09: discount rate reduced from +38% to 27%

EM Division

Goals and Targets Maintaining quality and size: Entrance scores among upper 10% nationally and total enrollment below 7,400 Providing access and affordability: Increase low-income and URM enrollments by 50% by A2S initiative Enhancing the student learning experience and global recognition: Undergraduate enrollment targets: 25% out-of-state, 5% international Diversifying the student body: Undergraduate enrollment targets: 26% female, 5% international, 30% non-engineering, 13% minority - A2S initiative Enhancing limited tuition revenues: Increase out-of-state and international students and lower discount rates through private fundraising and gift dollars

Key Environmental Shifts Limited capacity for growth: Increases mostly limited to non-engineering, graduate and online programs Declining numbers of traditional students: Missouri and Midwestern states to decline by 4-9% through 2017 Low interest in STEM degrees: Only 4.7% of 2010 ACT tested college-bound students pursuing engineering Decreasing STEM and need-based aid: $1.7M annual loss of federal ACG & SMART Grants and state aid programs Lack of broad recruitment/outreach: Budgets needed to support larger out-of-state and international efforts

Strategic Tactics for Capacity and Financial Stability Increase national and international recruitment: Write five-year plan and funding model by target markets Evaluate a tuition revenue sharing plan: Review the UMKC and Rutgers models Conduct a financial aid leveraging analysis: Suggest contacting Noel-Levitz
