What does Enrollment Management (EM) encompass and what strategic organizational purpose(s) does it serve? This session will be part philosophical discussion and part practical discussion of just what EM is and means. Presenters will answer audience questions and discuss the differences between strategic EM and holistic EM, how the financial aid office fits into managing enrollments without treating students as a number or bottom line toward net revenue, and how where an office is housed in an organization can affect its functions/goals.
