The student experience teams have been busy with their project designs. Admissions and Financial Aid presented to the sponsors (Council of Presidents and key stakeholders) last week and shared their vision for the new student enrollment process: from prospect student through to enrollment. This vision includes a draft enrollment plan, high-level process map, and a proposed staff design for admissions.
The Student and Residence Life team presented some of their conceptual designs for residential life and new student onboarding to the Student Advisory Council on April 28th. They received great feedback from students, which will be incorporated into their work going forward.
A team representing cross-functional support areas for international students had their initial discovery meeting this past week. The group reports that it plans to continue to meet to learn more and begin looking at a design for recruiting and supporting international students throughout Vermont State University.
Finally, the three admissions teams from CU, NVU, and VTC came together at Vermont Tech today to get to know one another and focus on team building for the future. The team heard updates on all the admissions transformation projects that are currently underway, enjoyed a very nice lunch together, and was able to learn about and tour the Vermont Advanced Manufacturing Center. We would like to extend a special thank you to Kathleen Mason who helped us with some DEI focused ice breakers that helped everyone learn a little more about each other. It was a great day!
