Web Redesign Update
Edward Terry
The project is moving along. As far as the process is concerned, tree testing was just completed with focus groups of students at different campuses. This test demonstrated where additional work is needed to guide students through the information. Visually speaking, changes have been made based on the recommendations of this committee. Edward will send link to the group and would like to have them go through the site, and leave comments and/or recommendations at each step. Go to the pages that are important for your department, share with your staff and encourage them to play with it before it goes live. Timeline for a soft launch to PLT is May 1. Actual launch estimate is prior to next new student registration.

ACC 1-on-1 Update
Brette Lea & Patty Salazar
This project was developed to engage current, former, and new students prior to registration. It is an opportunity for all students to get the personalized advising they need. The aggressive campaign brought a high number of visits and calls, and we had 200 appointments for advising. Currently, we are testing to see if we want to offer this to students year-round, at certain times, or on certain periods. This type of contact helps students avoid the rush at the time of regular registration. We are serving our students better, advising services are better managed and more efficient. Richard Armenta said that the data produced from this project is still raw, but we should be able to know more later about the type of student using the service.

Enrollment Management Discussion
Dr. Richard Armenta
EM is somewhat new to community colleges. It is mainly used by four-year institutions and limited access programs. This committee will help to develop a plan for our college. He distributed a document for discussion as a starting point. He said it is a template to guide the group toward building this project.
Goal one would be supported by the office of EM and PICM. These departments would be in charge of addressing related issues. It is a tool to market enrollment towards graduation. Soon would like to see CE, Adult Education, and the business community incorporated in EM to know exactly what classes to offer depending on the needs of these groups. EM should align with the Academic Master Plan, and it would have to be validated by the whole college. The group had many different opinions, and decided that Richard and Brette would work on this document some more based on the group’s input and bring it back with revisions for further discussion.
