Using Strategic Enrollment Management (SEM) to Enhance Institutional Financial Planning Webinar

The 1980's saw issues of changing demographics and declining enrollments dramatically impact higher education, and AACRAO was instrumental in the development of enrollment management strategies designed to support the missions - and in many cases, facilitate the very survival - of colleges and universities of all sizes and forms.

Changing demographics, increased student debt burdens, pressure on tuition and other revenue streams: the warning signs of problems to come are again on the horizon, and not only in the press and halls of government. The long range outlooks of institutions reflect significant financial consequences of such identifiable societal trends and transformations.

Today, both enrollment and financial planning processes and tools are far more complex than they were just two decades ago, with equally high stakes and increasing rates of change. Again AACRAO is at the forefront of organizations addressing today's critical challenges by promoting the integration of data-driven resource, program and enrollment planning that today achieves unprecedented levels of precision to both inform and guide effective management responses to changing conditions.

This webinar features proven tools and strategies utilized by both public and private institutions to proactively address the challenges of integrating strategic enrollment management (SEM) and financial planning activities as seen from the perspectives of a university president and a chief budget and planning officer.
