DIVISION OF ENROLLMENT MANAGEMENT & STUDENT AFFAIRS 2012-2013 BRIEFING BOOK Dear Colleague: The Division of Enrollment Management and Student Affairs (EMSA) at The College at Brockport is proud to present our Briefing Book for the 2012-2013 academic year. We were afforded many opportunities during the last year to showcase the value that EMSA adds to our students’ Brockport experience. In reading this report, you’ll learn of our successes and progress to advance our 16 distinct areas of student support. The annual report provides an overview of each department and their accomplishments. We utilize data and key performance indicators to assess our effectiveness within the College’s four constructs of academic quality and engagement, co-curricular and support services, learning environment and quality of place, and culture of philanthropy and alumni connectedness. As evidenced in this report, our division achieved many accomplishments that support the constructs and the College mission. The Office of Residential Life/Learning Communities expanded their living learning communities by adding the Academic Exploration and Honors House and increased participation rates by 37%. SERC received the 2012-2013 NIRSA Outstanding Sports Facilities award and was nationally recognized for architectural design, functionality, and how well the facility meets its intended purpose. For the fourth year, the College at Brockport has been named a military friendly school by GI Jobs Magazine based on our proven efforts to recruit and retain military and veteran students, a distinction received by only 15% of all colleges and universities. The division’s assessment team is leading the College’s institutional effectiveness efforts, evidenced by the Middle States Accreditation Final Report from the Evaluation Team which acknowledged EMSA for being “strategic in their planning, implementation, and assessment of their program activities. A comprehensive Student Learning Outcomes Development process shows that the division has engaged in appropriate selfreflection, program assessment, and goal setting. The results of the administration of student survey instruments, as well as the analysis of enrollment data, are benchmarked against state and national peers.” This team has established a data-driven culture that is committed to continuous improvement.
I have so much pride in the work of our staff and in their contributions to the success of our students. Thank you for taking the time to review our accomplishments from this past year. The Division of Enrollment Management and Student Affairs plans to continue to provide unique opportunities to all Brockport students and to support their achievements both in and outside of the classroom. Sincerely,
Kathryn Wilson, EdD, JD Vice President for Enrollment Management and Student Affairs
