STRATEGIC PLANNING: Lisa Silverstein, Ph.D., describes how several tribal colleges created enrollment management plans.
In 2019, the American Indian College Fund launched the Cultivating Native Student Success project to address two main issues: the low percentage of Native students in college across the nation as compared with other race and ethnicities, and the decline in tribal college and university enrollment, specifically. The project’s focus is to create sustainable strategic enrollment management plans reflective of Native student and community culture, assets, and needs, with the goal to increase enrollment, retention, and completion of their student body, no matter the entry point.
