Excerpt from the webinar:

"Our perspective is that strategic enrollment management is an institution-wide responsibility and it is the central focus of the institution’s overall strategic plan – What is best for students and how to ensure student success while addressing all aspects of the institution’s mission. Just like overall strategic planning, strategic enrollment management starts with the institution’s mission."
