Testimonials

In their own words, participants from our certificate program specify how the certificate program helped them solidify their skills and knowledge in the profession.

“The USC certificate program was transformational for me. Thanks to the experienced and dedicated faculty who lead the program, I went from an enrollment management novice, to a leader on our campus who has a strong understanding of the discipline of enrollment management. In addition to the support of the faculty, being in a program with colleagues from both sides of the desk allowed for well-rounded, and comprehensive discussions that were always mutually beneficial. I’m in a better position to give students at St. Francis College the opportunity to dream, serve and achieve because of my engagement in this program.”

-Robert Oliva, Certificate alum, Vice President of Enrollment Management & Community Relations at St. Francis College

 

“The USC Leadership in Enrollment Management certificate program offered me space to reflect and connect with others about our daily work. This experience was invaluable in gaining perspective, building confidence and making connections with some down-to-earth and super bright people.”

-Tom Hoener, Certificate alum, Associate Vice President for Enrollment Management at California Lutheran University

 

“The USC certificate program is an investment into growing your profession. It is serendipitous to take during the busiest time of the year because each lesson has an exact parallel theme as to what I was working on in the office. The professors and teachers are experts in the field who provide wisdom with understanding. Even with the experience of working within the field of enrollment management, I still found it beneficial to engage in the group discussions, thought-provoking readings, and each week noticed I had a new and fresh way of approaching my work. I recommend this certification program to anyone who is looking to grow in their knowledge of this field.”

-Ingrid Palmisano, Certificate alum, Chief Enrollment Officer at Miami Country Day School
