Despite challenging budget cycles hampered by scholarship restrictions, I have successfully led recruitment initiatives that achieve enrollment targets. Selected highlights include:• Innovating recruitment efforts through proactive data analysis and effective yield strategies that supplement operational and marketing efforts.• Maximizing departmental information systems, technologies, and marketing tools through collaborative partnerships with Marketing, Alumni Volunteer Recruitment, Web Services, Enrollment Operations, and Visitor Services teams to meet overall recruitment goals.

With effective oversight of a team serving 1,200 students within 30 different majors among 11 undergraduate and graduate degree programs, I facilitated all tasks encompassing program requirements, course planning, registration, university policies, and student academic matters. To promote recruitment and retention initiatives I effectively administered a $160K enrollment services budget that sustained admission efforts, academic advising, support services, financial aid, mentorship, student leadership, event planning, and community building. Selected highlights included:• Blending the responsibilities of Manager of Student Services with those of the Director of Student Services following a promotion in 2012.• Leveraging the management of cross-functional groups (Graduate Financial Aid Officer, Manager of Graduate Admissions and Online Marketing, and the Administrative Coordinator for Student Services) to ensure a focused and consistent workflow toward desired goals.• Cultivating collaborative alliances by actively serving on university-wide committees such as the Advising Network, Campus Activities, Graduate Student Life, Leave of Absence Return Review, the Graduate Enrollment Strategy Group, and the Undergraduate Workflow, Undergraduate Yield and Recruitment Committee.• Strengthening success through mentorship and advising for specific sectors (international students, athletes, double degree seekers, undergraduate student government, honor college participants, transfer students, and academically at-risk individuals).

By partnering with the Admission Office I actively recruited and built community with events such as Admitted Student Visit Days, Open Houses, Freshmen Welcome activities, Orientation, and community parties. Selected highlights included:• Streamlining processes for course planning, advising, and registration through collaboration and creative idea development.• Optimizing the student experience by developing strong cross campus relationships (Disability Services, Residence Life, Student Health Services, faculty, etc.) to assist with crisis management, advocacy concerns, mediation, and individualized academic plans.• Leading the full scope of graduation ceremony logistics to accommodate approximately 1,400 guests, including securing the facility, catering, faculty, stage party, and special guest speakers for 300+ graduates.

To guide records management operations for approximately 1,200 students I ensured that withdrawals, transfer credits, graduation progress tracking, leave of absence, and graduation clearance documents were accurately processed. By coordinating the course scheduling process and room assignments while updating changes within the degree audit system, I was able to facilitate a smooth operational workflow. As a support resource for faculty I built cross-functional alliances to aid with courses, student concerns, advising, and web grading. Select highlights included: • Enhancing the college experience by advising students regarding general academic concerns, exceptions, and study abroad options.• Encouraging engagement by assisting with the planning and execution of college events, programs, and community building activities.
