To the ECU Community,
In Spring 2008, the Chancellor appointed a Strategic Enrollment Management Task Force charged with developing a plan to guide ECU’s efforts in enrollment management. The Task Force, composed of 33 representatives from all areas of the university, has focused its work on four critical issues affecting Strategic Enrollment Management at ECU: defining and embracing our access mission; improving student retention and graduation rates; determining effective academic program mix; and providing optimal infrastructure.
The DISCUSSION DRAFT of the Strategic Enrollment Task Force Report can be found here, and connections with UNC Tomorrow and ECU Tomorrow can be found here. I encourage you to read them and provide the Task Force your comments and suggestions. I also encourage you to attend one of the forums being held throughout October. The schedule for the forums is as follows:
Faculty/Staff forums
Wednesday, October 15, 2008, 2:00 pm – 4:00 pm at Mendenhall Great Rooms 1 and 2
Thursday, October 16, 2008, 3:10 pm – 5:00 pm at Health Sciences Building 1120
Thursday, October 23, 2008, 3:00 pm – 5:00 pm at Mendenhall Student Center 244
Undergraduate Students/Graduate Students forum
Tuesday, October 28, 2008, 6:30 pm – 8:30 pm at Mendenhall Student Center 221
If you are unable to attend a forum, please consider providing written comments via e-mail to SEMTF@ecu.edu or talking with members of the Task Force.
The Task Force will present its initial recommendations to the Board of Trustees for consideration at its November meeting. The Board will receive our final plan at its February meeting.
We look forward to your input as we finalize our recommendations.
Regards,
Judi Bailey
Chair, Strategic Enrollment Management Task Force
