- Review charter
The group reviewed the charter and made some changes to purpose. The group decided to change ‘assessing’ to ‘monitoring’ in the 3rd bullet point and added ‘planning; to ‘effective enrollment management.’ Leslie will take the changes to Governance Council for approval.
- Review / comments from online webinar last month, RP Group, topic: Strategic Enrollment Management
Leslie reviewed the webinar from the RP group regarding strategic enrollment management. She also went over that Taft College is attracting freshman students – but not retaining them. She also reviewed current enrollment trends, stating that TC’ enrollment is down double digits. The group discussed surveying students, as that was a strategy mentioned in the webinar. We do not currently survey students semesterly, but that is doable. The group agreed to work on creating a student survey at the October Access committee.
- Committee evaluation
The committee will go through an evaluation process through the Governance Council. This is a reminder that this happens annually.
- Discuss focus of this year’s committee work.
After a lengthy discussion about student surveys- targeting different groups of students, trying to reach students prior to a potential drop, reaching students who have already dropped- it was decided that the focus of the committee work will be to create student surveys and implement those this semester.
