Under the direction of the Chancellor, the Enrollment Management Coordinator provides strategic and operational leadership for the College’s efforts to reverse enrollment decline and improve student persistence, credential completion, and graduation rates at Kapi'olani Community College. The position develops, implements, and assesses an integrated strategy spanning recruitment, application, admission, financial aid, registration, onboarding, re-enrollment, retention, and completion. Immediate priorities include increasing enrollment of new, transfer, returning, stopped-out, adult, working, first-generation, commuter, and multilingual students;

removing administrative, financial, transportation, technology, scheduling, housing, food-security, and other basic-needs barriers; improving term-to-term and year-to-year persistence; and accelerating completion for students who have earned substantial credits but have not received a credential. Working across Academic Affairs, Student Affairs, Institutional Research, Administrative Services, Information Technology, Communications, and other programs, the position establishes shared goals and performance measures, coordinates timely interventions, monitors progress, and elevates unresolved barriers requiring executive action.

The position serves as the primary point of contact for the College’s participation in University of Hawai'i System enrollment management and student success initiatives and leads special projects assigned by the Chancellor, Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs, and Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs that advance enrollment, completion, equity, and service excellence.
