Strategic Enrollment Initiatives These funds would be allocated by the Enrollment Management committee in support of the college's targeted enrollment growth. The committee is currently re-organizing around three core functions - schedule, recruitment/marketing, and retention. Each of these subcommittees would be responsible for proposing enrollment growth ideas that could then be selected for funding by the larger body based on criteria such as FTES generation, ability to define and assess success of the initiative, cost, time to implement, etc. Some portion of this request could potentially be funded through the IEPI initiative.
