Enrollment Management Team,
Despite the colder weather, the spring semester has been off to a great start filled with the warmth and energy of our Enrollment Management staff. I enjoyed getting to see many of you during the first couple of weeks of the semester at athletic events, during my visits to our offices, during meetings, and in passing on campus.
EM Divisional Awards Reminder: Do not forget to nominate a colleague for our Enrollment Management Divisional Awards Program! Applications are due by March 15th: Use this link to nominate your colleagues! We will celebrate each other at our end of semester celebration on May 20th.
As we start the spring semester, it is helpful to review reporting resources and refresh ourselves on policies and procedures. I listed a few key resources for your reference:
-
Issues Reporting Center: There are many ways to report concerns to the appropriate offices on campus. This page includes information on how to report concerns related to student conduct, bias, HR, Title IX, facilities, etc. Please consult with your supervisor or reach out directly to me if you are ever unsure about where to refer a student or how to share a concern.
-
Basic Needs Resources: Resources are available to support students who may be facing food or housing insecurity, or who may need access to emergency funding.
-
Emergency Management Resources: There are a number of training videos on workplace violence and resources for you to regularly review on this webpage. There is a new emergency alert system, so please pay attention to your emails about updating your information in that system.
-
FERPA protects the privacy of student information. Please review the policy.
