AACRAO Announces 2010 SEM Executive Forum
August 11th, 2010
Individuals and institutions frequently base important decisions on college and university rankings. Prospective students use this data when choosing which institution to attend. Agencies and foundations use them to make decisions and prioritizations for awarding grant and gift funds.
However, there is a growing disenchantment with the current system. Institutional leaders and the education community are in need of a new means of assessing the effectiveness of institutions in delivering value–added undergraduate education to support improved access and equity for all students seeking to participate in higher education.
Other individuals and agencies have made this same observation and have initiated their own approaches to address flaws in the current system. But these efforts have been theoretical in nature and thus fail to address many practical issues.
On November 7, 2010, college and university leaders will convene at the Nashville Marriott Hotel in Nashville, Tennessee, for the AACRAO Executive Forum. Attendees will explore a new approach that would focus more on the value added of an education rather than inputs to the institutions. The goal is to bring strategic enrollment management (SEM) practitioners into the process of crafting solutions, tapping into their knowledge of the practical dimensions of enrollment–related policy as well as their expertise in the best practices in implementing policy changes.
This year’s Executive Forum program will provide attendees with a stimulating combination of:
- Targeted input from leading higher education researchers, media professionals and strategic enrollment management (SEM) professionals
- Active engagement between the audience that will allow involvement of higher education leaders in the development of best practices for a new set of college and university rankings
- Networking discussions during luncheon and break times; and
- Actionable ideas for improving the current college and university ranking programs in North America
Following the event, Forum attendees are encouraged to take advantage and register for the full SEM Conference. The Early Bird Forum fee of $399 for AACRAO members/ $499 non-members will be discounted for those who pay to attend the four-day SEM Conference.

AACRAO’s SEM Conference Turns 20!
August 5th, 2010
AACRAO’s Strategic Enrollment Management (SEM) Conference has reached a
milestone—20 years of serving as the leading provider of SEM analysis and content. AACRAO established the term “strategic enrollment management” with the first SEM Conference in 1990. Over the past two decades, the conference has continually evolved to meet the changing needs of SEM practitioners, as well as the students and institutions they serve.
Among the special events at this year’s conference is a plenary presentation featuring three individuals (Stan Henderson, Angé Peterson, Dick Whiteside), who have participated in the conference since its inception. Their presentation, SEM @ 20: The Origin and Future of the Profession, will share their perspectives on the history, evolution, and future of the profession. It’s a presentation by leaders of the SEM movement that is not to be missed!
Mark your calendar for November 7–10 and plan to attend AACRAO’s Strategic Enrollment Management Conference in Nashville. Conference registration and hotel reservations for SEM are now open!
