• Partner closely with academic departments, advising, financial aid, and student services to support student success.
• Monitor caseload progress and ensure compliance with institutional and state policies.
• Provide coaching and training to admissions and outreach staff on best practices.

• Track enrollment metrics, recruitment performance, and conversion trends.
• Maintain detailed records of all outreach and student interactions.
• Prepare reports on enrollment and outreach to inform College leadership.
• Collaborate with Institutional Research and Marketing to refine data-driven recruitment strategies.
