26 P E N N S Y L V A N I A S S T A T E S Y S T E M O F H I G H E R E D U C A T I O N Enrollment Management Strategy Much more than admissions! Where do adult students (and veterans) fit in the strategy? Where does online/extended studies fit in the strategy? How to reach the million+ Pennsylvanian s with some college but no degree? How to better understand out-of-state and international student markets? How to move the needle on student transfers? How to improve retention and degree completion? What is the role of strategic financial aid?
