  AACRAO Consulting Provides Expert FERPA Training on Your Campus

  

  “LeRoy Rooker is synonymous with FERPA and KSU needed his expertise as a compass to recover operations effected by personnel turnover.

  Recent leadership changes at KSU pointed to the need for a dedicated campus tutorial-workshop involving a variety of offices regarding the practices of confidentiality. Enrollment Service Professionals are large stakeholders in the stewardship of privacy and student record integrity. These offices are seen as the lightening rod to determine boundaries of proper practices.

  Often these offices are held responsible to defend or enforce such policies and to provide for secure archiving. With a wide sweep of new personnel changes it was wise to draw in LeRoy Rooker, the national resource who is recognized as the guru of the Family Privacy Act. His ability to address critical issues among departments and restore operational confidence was precisely on target.

  LeRoy speaks with sound authority and any audience feels a certain confidence when he is present.”

  Joe F. Head, Assistant Vice President for Enrollment Services and Dean of University Admissions at Kennesaw State University following a series of FERPA workshops conducted by LeRoy Rooker.

  Applying SEM at the Community College – Webinar Archive Now Available

  Did you miss the recent webinar on SEM at community colleges? The archive is now available at www.aacrao.org/webinar.

  The webinar highlights chapters of the AACRAO publication, Applying SEM at the Community College. Participants will learn fundamental SEM concepts, how to jump start the SEM process at their own campuses, and the myriad of resources to help along the SEM journey.

  Reaching out effectively to the many diverse student cohorts at a community college while serving and supporting them with the services needed to achieve their goals are at the heart of what community colleges do. Developing an institution-wide understanding of and commitment to that mission, and tailoring it to a specific institution’s needs, are critical tasks, and SEM may be the key to get you there.

  Applying SEM at the Community College identifies the unique enrollment issues confronting two-year colleges, and suggests effective strategies for resolving them. The webinar reviews:

  • The use of data in the decision making process
  • Marketing in the community college environment
  • Technology and its application to SEM

  Editor’s Note: This article is a follow-up to an article that appeared in C&U in fall 2005 (Bontrager, Clemetsen, & Watts 2005) and to a presentation made at the 2007 AACRAO conference in Boston.

  
  INSTITUTIONAL SIDEWALKS VS. STUDENT TRAILS
  It is not uncommon to look at a campus and see beautiful grounds with sidewalks guiding traffic and buildings where students are given opportunities to learn. Yet these well-kept campus grounds also have foot paths that attest to the ways people really travel from one place of learning to another. Some have argued that no sidewalks should be put in place until after the foot paths have become evident. Such an approach would ensure that sidewalks were placed to meet the needs of the most people—and, given the current price of cement, also would ensure the best use of fiscal resources. The reality is that we don’t wait to put in sidewalks. Rather, our grounds staff tries to channel people to use the sidewalks, to discourage people’s use of pathways, and to hide heavily worn mud tracks. This dance has gone on for years and likely will continue until it is decided that the mud paths are a permanent reality and are more important than sidewalks that “look right.”

  The Strategic Role of the Registrar: Changing Responsibilities in Light of Technology

  
  When considering the areas that pertain to enrollment management, it is fairly obvious that the Registrar’s Office plays a part. But just how strategic is the office in the efforts of an institution that is attempting to implement strategic enrollment management? Isn’t the office primarily responsible for maintaining accurate records and insuring compliance with curricular requirements? How can an office that focuses on records and compliance be a strategic part of institutional efforts to manage enrollment? I think a significant answer to that question lies in addressing assumptions about the role of the office within the institutional context. Let’s first take a look from an historical perspective to see how the role of the office has developed over time.
