Description
The Institutional Effectiveness Division of the California Community Colleges Chancellor’s Office has developed a Strategic Enrollment Management Applied Solution Kit (SEM ASK).
The development and implementation of the SEM ASK has occurred in phases: Phase I: Discovery included collecting and reviewing information about successful SEM practices, challenges, and needed resources within the colleges. Project team members completed a review of the SEM literature; conducted a systemwide Strategic Enrollment Management survey; and engaged a cross-disciplinary, constituent-based SEM Advisory Committee. Together, the project team and Advisory Committee developed an operational definition of SEM, crafted an organizing SEM framework based on evidence collected through the literature review and survey, and identified and prioritized needed resources, tools and professional development services for the ASK. The SEM Framework and operational definition places significant value on developing and implementing SEM practices with an equity focus. During Phase II: Design and Implementation, the project team continued to work with the SEM Advisory Committee and constituent groups within the system to create, vet, and distribute eight SEM resource guides, the SEM Institutional Self-Assessment, SEM Promising Practices from the field, and the SEM Program which includes a two-day SEM Academy. Phase III: Support for the colleges phase in which the year-long SEM Program is launched and statewide and regional workshops on SEM will be offered
This session will cover both the processes that were utilized in developing the SEM ASK, as well as share the tools and resources that have resulted from it. Participants will hear about the strategic enrollment management challenges that were identified in California, and be invited to discuss which of those challenges are mirrored in their own institutions. In addition, a number of tools and resources from the SEM ASK will be shared, with the expectation that though developed for the context of California, they will be useful resources for those gaining an understanding of the holistic scope of strategic enrollment management and provide a sample for the sorts of resources and tools that others may want to develop for their own states.
