SEM check-in: Foster a culture of enrollment growth

WSU is implementing a Strategic Enrollment Management plan for continuing growth over the next two years, as part of the university's Strategic Planning Process.

Periodically we will update the status of one of the goals to keep the campus informed on progress so we can move forward together.

Goal 1: 鈥淒evelop activities that foster a culture of enrollment growth among faculty, staff and students.鈥� Promoting enrollment is not a task that belongs to just one office or a segment of campus. It should be pursued by the entire campus community because we all benefit from strong enrollment numbers.

What can you do?

  1. Refer a neighbor, friend or family member to our Admissions team at . By providing basic contact information, you help the admissions office reach potential Shockers.
  2. Like and share content from the social media accounts of the Office of Admissions. This expands the social networking power of the university.

Service standards

The adoption of new Service Standards also contributes to fostering a culture of enrollment growth by identifying common things we can all do to create a welcoming environment for all who serve and are served by the university.

Shocker PROUD reminds all of us to be Professional, Responsive, Open, Understanding and Dependable. New student-focused training will start in September to provide guidance on incorporating these service standards into our everyday work life and encourage recognition for outstanding service.

The WSU Admissions team has already launched its annual PROUD awards for outstanding service by team members who are nominated and voted on by their colleagues. Visit the WSU Service Standards webpage to stay updated on Shocker PROUD.
