Dr. Sally Roden has been appointed interim Vice President of Enrollment Management.
Roden, who has served as associate provost and dean of Undergraduate Studies, began the post on July 1. The Office of Financial Aid, the Office of Admissions, and University College will join the units of the former Division of Undergraduate Studies.
The Division of Enrollment Management will provide a more streamlined process for student recruitment, admission, enrollment, financial aid and scholarship, and scheduling of classes.
Students will be provided a number of programs planned to enhance student satisfaction and student success. The results of these program initiatives will be increased student retention and graduation rates.
âBy combining admission, financial aid and our retention effort under the umbrella of one division, we will be able to serve our first year students better and more efficiently,â said UCA President Allen Meadors. âI am delighted that Dr. Roden has agreed to step in and help us as the new Division of Enrollment Management evolves. Dr. Roden’s 40-year career at UCA, especially her 17 years as Dean of Undergraduate Studies, should prove to be extremely valuable during this transition year. “
Dr Roden said she was honored to have been asked by President Meadors to lead this very important reorganization of the University’s enrollment management.
âThe combination of these units will provide new opportunities for supporting students as this new division works to improve the quality and diversity of UCA’s student body,â she said. âUCA and the Division of Enrollment Management are committed to assisting students in their educational goals and obtaining a college degree.â
