Despite modest gains in enrollment over the last decade at the University of Maine, Fall 2022 saw the smallest incoming class in over a decade. At the regional campus in Machias, similar challenges persist to recruit and retain our learner population.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maine faces significant declines in the number of high school graduates and more learners choosing to forego a traditional four-year college experience. Our fiscal realities include rising costs, substantial deferred maintenance, and a budget increasingly dependent on tuition and fees. The pandemic upended traditional learning modalities and technology while also exacerbating issues around mental health, physical health, and a lack of personal connection and support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While these challenges and disruptions are real, they are not insurmountable. UMaine and UMaine Machias faculty, staff, and students are dedicated, resilient, and resourceful. To respond to the opportunities before us, we propose a Strategic Framework for Enrollment Management Recruitment and Retention. This multi-faceted, comprehensive strategy engages the entire campus community and beyond to achieve growth in our learner populations, strengthening our identity and sense of belonging, and ultimately persevering and achieving success. These action steps align with our University\u2019s mission, vision, and values and complement our overall strategic plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To accomplish the goals and objectives, UMaine and UMaine Machias will need to utilize every tool at our disposal to support both prospective and enrolled students. While fortunate to have seen increases in our state appropriations, much of our resources are derived from tuition, fees, external grants, and private fundraising. We are also keenly aware that we cannot rely solely on traditional-age high school students from Maine to be successful. We must broaden our enrollment management strategies with an emphasis on growing and diversifying our population of learners and commit to an environment that supports all learners to succeed and graduate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The SEM Recruitment and Retention Action Plan 2023-2027 is the culmination of over six months of work by faculty, staff, administrators, alumni, and external partners, and reflects a unified commitment to achieve our strategic enrollment management goals. The expectation is for this framework to be a living document. It is meant to be forward-thinking, flexible, and based on regular measurable outcomes and benchmarking. It will be governed by an executive team, led by an implementation team, and propelled by a number of action-oriented task forces across the UMaine and UMaine Machias community. These processes will be further enhanced by our values of shared governance, transparent culture, and accountability for achievement.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-background is-style-wide\" style=\"background-color:#79bde8;color:#79bde8\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>SEM Action Plan Goals 2023-2027<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>UMaine&#8217;s five-year Strategic Enrollment &amp; Retention Action Plan begins with a framework of three action-oriented goals, each with its own set of objectives. The framework ensures action steps are taken and uses key performance indicators (KPIs) to track progress toward goal achievement. Action in both recruitment and retention is vital to the health of the university, sustaining our university community across generations, and ensuring that the University\u2019s resources enable it to fulfill its mission in the short and long term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div

support the implementation of the 2023-2027 Strategic Enrollment Management Recruitment and Retention Action Plan Framework. At the highest level, this strategy is aligned with our University\u2019s strategic vision and values framework.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>UMaine and UMaine Machias must develop robust, lasting action around marketing, recruitment, and retention. Aspects of this strategic recruitment and retention action plan will require new investments of resources whereas others will utilize substantial changes to existing processes and practices. Collectively, the strategies outlined above will help grow our learning populations, increase retention and student success, and ultimately lead to a more engaged, active, and inclusive community that is fully dedicated to our statewide mission as both a flagship and a regional campus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The opportunities here can only be achieved by a coordinated process across the whole university community. Campuswide leadership and participation in this framework will make success more likely, as implementation will require us to prioritize, organize, and hold ourselves accountable.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Defining Tomorrow means embracing the values that all learners belong here at UMaine and UMaine Machias and that we are attracting, retaining, and graduating successful students who embrace our identity founded upon the principles of diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging. It means opening our minds to new perspectives, new possibilities, and new challenges. It means working together to make UMaine and UMaine Machias a central part of our student\u2019s education, so that it may serve as a guide across one\u2019s whole life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thank you for all of the wonderful work you do and the ambitious work ahead in implementing our strategic enrollment management framework.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow
