We are writing to provide you with an update on our strategic enrollment planning effort that was formally launched at the university retreat earlier this year.

The first phase of our planning focused primarily on research related to UMBC’s undergraduate students and included a review and assessment of enrollment and student success outcomes. The next phase will  focus primarily on graduate student enrollment and progression.

We would like to acknowledge and thank the many members of the UMBC community who have engaged in the planning process to date and have provided important perspectives and input to the planning process through the university retreat, faculty, department chair, staff, student and program director focus groups, interviews and the hundreds of people who responded to faculty/staff survey. As the planning process proceeds, it will entail similar assessments and engagements.

We invite you to visit our Strategic Enrollment Planning website to learn more about our efforts (including preliminary results of the faculty and staff survey) and invite your further participation in this important endeavor.
