Institutions across higher education are increasingly recognizing that student success is not simply a retention initiative – it is a comprehensive institutional strategy that begins long before matriculation and extends through graduation and career success. Yet many campuses continue to organize enrollment management, academic affairs, and student affairs as separate functions, resulting in fragmented student experiences and missed opportunities to support student development and institutional goals.
This highly interactive workshop explores how institutions can intentionally design a student success ecosystem that promotes the development of the whole student while advancing Strategic Enrollment Management (SEM) objectives. Drawing upon student development theory, campus ecology, ecological systems theory, and contemporary SEM practices, participants will examine how data, organizational structure, and cross-functional partnerships can be leveraged to support intellectual, social, emotional, ethical, and spiritual development throughout the student lifecycle.
