Between May and September, the advisory group has prepared ten sessions. The sessions are held virtually, usually on Monday afternoons. All sessions are two-to-three weeks apart.

Each session will feature guest speakers who will give an overview of their specific area followed by a discussion about how enrollment management affects and is affected by the chosen topic.

The advisory group and our guest speakers will assign homework for individuals to complete between most sessions.

Session topics and locations may be subject to changes or updates.
