Summary

ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
This position reports directly to the Interim A.V.P. for CGPS and is largely self-supervising
and independent as it relates to development of recruitment strategies to lead to
enrollment growth. The Director of Admission has the responsibility of attracting
and recruiting qualified undergraduate and graduate candidates who meet the admission
requirements of the College of Graduate and Professional Studies along with the development,
implementation and management of specific recruitment-related programs. Working with
the Interim A.V.P. for CGPS, Senior Director of Graduate School, and Academic Director,
the Director of Admission has the authority to negotiate memorandums of understanding,
programmatic offerings, scheduling, training and development opportunities with the
leadership of regional community colleges; presidents/vice presidents/directors of
human resources at corporations, manufacturing centers, small businesses, etc.
The Director of Admission has the autonomy to build both a daily and long term schedule
for appointments with individuals and groups externally from the office as well as
setting appointments with business and organizational leaders. A primary responsibility
is one-to-one recruitment of prospective students within the region for all CGPS programs,
from inquiry to enrollment, and the Director of Admission may exercise independent
discretion and judgement to accomplish these tasks. The Director of Admission assists
program specific candidates in completing the application, acquiring the necessary
documents required for admission into the school, and guiding them on financial aid
availability and processing.
Working with the Interim A.V.P. for CGPS and the Academic Director, the Director of
Admission annually develops, implements and manages a promotional budget. Annually,
along with close consultation with the Academic Director, the Director of Admission
is responsible for providing the Interim A.V.P. for CGPS with a comprehensive marketing
plan to recruit new students for their assigned academic programs, which thoroughly
analyzes and assesses the Trine regional market and concludes with the Director of
Admission’s realistic and “stretch” goal projections for each of their assigned programs.
It is from this invaluable exercise that the Director takes ownership of achieving
academic program enrollment goals, thus ensuring the viability of the college’s expenditure
on faculty and staff. The Director of Admission will also develop, along with the
Academic Director, a regular course of action to retain currently enrolled students.
