On Thu, Sep 14 at 10 am, Dr. Wendy Marshall will unveil the redesign of the USC Leadership in Enrollment Management certificate program and how it provides a pathway to leadership for those ready to level up. Room: Strip View D

The Supreme Court has erred in their conclusion to turn back race-conscious admissions. However, we urge institutions not to over-react to the decision. We are weeks and months from understanding the impact of their decision and the amount of leeway that institutions will be provided in pursuing diversity, equity and inclusion goals. See the full CERPP Statement here.

Join our July 13 webinar at noon PT/3 pm ET with Robert Massa and Andrew Roth. Register here!

The enrollment landscape is daunting. A pandemic, demographic change, challenges to race-aware admissions, and flagging public confidence now overlay an already difficult leadership challenge. 

Knowledge and action are the keys. What do we know and where do we go from here?

Over 120 conference participants attended to examine the most critical enrollment issues in the eye and chart a path to leadership and success.
