• Acedemic Impressions-Planning for a One-Stop Enrollment Services Model:: Conference:
  Date: July 26 – 28, 2010
  Location: San Francisco, CA
  Website: academicimpressions.com
  
  
  • Many institutions support building a one-stop enrollment services center but struggle with
    how to “make it happen.” In order to be successful, institutions need to consider the academic,
    financial services, and advising needs of their students as well as the available financial and
    physical space resources, technology demands, and potential staffing models. With so many
    possible approaches to consider, leaders need to carefully determine which type of model or
    process change is best for them based on their resources, mission, and strategic plan.
