After the All LCC presentations explaining Strategic Enrollment Management to the faculty and staff, employees volunteered to serve on the various subcommittees.
An initial Recruitment Subcommittee meeting was held in May to begin discussions. The subcommittee did meet a second time during the summer.
Some simple activities to help with SEM goal attainment were created for the start of the Fall 2021 semester, such as the “Ask Me – How Can I Help?” buttons for staff.

The short-term and long-term activities were determined during the past quarter. They were as follows:

Research/learn more about the Native American Tribal benefits and how LCC build off of the resources available to this diverse population.
Begin asking all-campus for help on recruiting events that have scheduling conflicts on days when Melissa and Kylie are already scheduled to visit other places. (ie: P/T conferences, athletic events, special fairs)
Improve the deliberate communication with prospective students
Review current daily procedure in Admissions – look for issues or what can be added or changed.
