Over the past year, Cuyahoga Community College has expanded both the members of the Strategic Enrollment Management team members and its focus beyond traditional enrollment categories. We have shifted our focus on our access mission, of students who may be better served by refining our recruitment, progression, and completion models. We had expanded our enrollment management team to include our academic leaders for a more inclusive team, beyond student affairs. With four campus leadership teams, each campus had shared a bi-annual check-in and presentation on their progress toward the goals of the strategic plan. This has helped all campuses to stay the course on the 2016-2018 SEM plan, and make necessary adjustments to meet their targets as each semester as the plan year comes to an end. In our persistence and progression work, we have developed a diverse work team, to include faculty, staff and administrators who had reviewed our business analytics in student progression. By campus, we have identified powerful predictors of student characteristics, which may be a factors in their likelihood to persistence. We used these predictors to identify students for whom our campus persistence teams has developed outreach and wrap around support on our Care Teams, to positively impact their persistence. Using an appreciative inquiry approach and engage as many college community stakeholders to participate, we spent a year developing a plan to refocus on access over enrollment, which as helped develop a sophistication for our access, equity, and success focus for our Strategic Plan and inform the developed of our new Strategic Enrollment Management Plan.
