Each year, 10 to 20 percent of students who made an enrollment deposit in the spring “melt” over the summer. If you are like most enrollment leaders, you are hyper focused on yielding the fall class and turning up the emphasis on "anti-melt" strategies in this extended recruitment season

Today I wanted to review three reasons why you should study abroad as early as your freshman or sophomore year. I myself studied abroad as a sophomore during the Fall semester of 2018 in Barcelona, Spain.

APRIL 6, 2021

by Shelley Seale. Contract cheating — students paying a third party to complete university assessments for them — is a dominant problem of academic integrity for many institutions of higher education. How can universities respond in an effective, collaborative way? While we can certainly improve our ability to deter students from engaging in cheating behaviors , there is also value in investing time, energy, and resources into developing the capacity to detect instances of contract cheating. .

This post addresses the other major component that needs to be addressed in creating an ERM plan—the important part that the institution’s board plays in the ERM.
