Kimberly, Brand Identity is becoming more and more important as "big name" colleges and universities get into the game. Interestingly, the regionaly accredited universities are also allowed to discount their tuition, whereas most career schools are not. I'd say that's an unfair advantage! Dr. Lisa Sharpe
Kimberly, Wow, that's cool! Good for you for using a cloud-based, up to date tracking tool. We don't need to re-invent the wheel. Dr. Lisa Sharpe

Kimberly, I know that too! When one of my previous employers (midsize NFP university) was losing students by the week, one of the deans came up with an idea that sounded good -- all faculty would survey students regarding their satisfaction with that class EVERY WEEK.

Kimberly, How amny times a year does your advisory board meet? Seeing that busy schedules are such a factor, do you ever meet electronically? Dr. Lisa Sharpe
George, Is your institution completely bilingual? That truly is a point of distinction. I'm interested! Dr. Lisa Sharpe
George, You are very much on track. Do you also implement advisory boards? Dr. Lisa Sharpe
George, Wow. That is amazing. The only Dual Language program in my area that I am aware of is for American Sign Language interpretation, so yours must be very unique! Would you be willing to share a bit more about it? Dr. Lisa Sharpe

George, Very nice! I think the information gleaned from those NOT enrolling will be the most telling. Dr. Lisa Sharpe

Dorothy, Thi si an important and little-thought of piece. In my experience, it is natural to assume that those in high positions (CEO, DEAN, Director of Education) will be the best placed to review overall trends. However, you make an important point. Dr. Lisa Sharpe
