Survey, Fall 2007 Data Analysis • InCLUsive Overnight – Yield was 68% – 36 of 53 students who attended have deposited. (Similar to previous years) • Noel Levitz data – Students in general are more satisfied today on all of our key indicators for diversity – Students of color may be slightly less satisfied, but their satisfaction levels have risen significantly Data Analysis How are you doing? Survey 1. Campus climate for diversity improved since 2004 2. 1st generation underrepresented students are not confident in their ability to finance their CLU education 3. Students are working longer hours, commuting more, and participating less in on-campus involvement opportunities. 4. Students this year are less able to balance social and academic life. 5. International students need faculty to be more sensitive to their needs. Recommendations • Continue with our campus diversity initiatives: – Recruiting diverse students, faculty and staff – Providing opportunities for students to interact across difference – Being intentional about improving our campus climate • Pay close attention to the affordability of the institution, particularly for 1st generation underrepresented students. • Institute policies and practices that we know foster higher retention, e.g. – living and working on campus – providing involvement and leadership opportunities Graduate and Adult Recruitment Strategies and Analysis Tom Hoener Graduate/Adult Admission Department Goals • Increase Graduate and Adult enrollment by 300 students over the next five years • Enhance awareness of the Graduate and Adult programs through the internet and other outreach initiatives • Track recruitment activities Tracking Recruitment Activities • Tracking sources: – Employer – Internet – Newspaper – Word of Mouth • Tracking and Analysis of Yields • January – April 2008 Counts Search Engine Organic Rankings CLU Yahoo November 07 4 CLU Yahoo May 08 1 MBA programs San Fernando Valley MBA programs Los Angeles MBA Los Angeles None None None 3 3 6 MBA program Southern California None None 1 7 1 1 Organizational Leadership bachelor programs Ventura None 1 Organizational Leadership programs Ventura None 1 Bachelors Organizational Leadership in Ventura Masters in Education Ventura None 1 4 1 Key Words MBA programs Ventura Bachelors degree in Business Ventura Bachelors in Business Ventura Search Engine Organic Rankings CLU Google November 07 1 CLU Google May 08 1 MBA programs San Fernando Valley MBA programs Los Angeles MBA Los Angeles None None None 1 5 5 MBA program Southern California None 4 Bachelors degree in Business Ventura Bachelors in Business Ventura None None 3 3 Organizational Leadership bachelor programs Ventura None 2 Organizational Leadership programs Ventura None 2 Bachelors Organizational Leadership in Ventura Masters in Education Ventura None None 2 1 Key Words MBA programs Ventura Google Analytics - ADEP Google Analytics – Graduate Admissions Future Projects • Focus groups with prospective students regarding media habits and preferences • Survey current students regarding their media habits and preferences • Analyze the yields between the different marketing sources Using NSSE to Measure Student Learning Leanne Neilson Academic Affairs Core Commitments Identity, Vision, Mission and Core Values California Lutheran University Strategy Map IDENTITY MISSION A diverse scholarly community dedicated to excellence in the liberal arts and professional studies.

Are the competing values presented in the paper clearly described? 5. Is there a convincing rationale for making opposing decisions in resolving the dilemma? 6. Is the ethical framework used to resolve the dilemma well defined and fully developed? 7. Is the decision offered by the student in alignment with the ethical framework and clearly justified? Using a 5-Point Rubric 1 = Not Met 2 = Minimally Met 3 = Met 4 = Met Above Average 5 = Met With Excellence Example for Question #3 Implications for educational leadership are poorly identified.
