© All rights reserved Overarching Themes – Enrollment Management Like their colleagues across the College, staff within Enrollment Management appreciate the College’s mission, the work they do and their colleagues. Though not at best in class levels, Enrollment Management staff report a greater degree of satisfaction with the resources they have as well as a greater sense of cross-functional collaboration. Within the Enrollment Management division there is a greater sense of confidence in the capabilities and credibility of senior leadership than is evident in other divisions. Conversely, the experience of supervisors within Enrollment Management is less positive than in other administrative divisions. Concerns regarding the adequacy/effectiveness of communication can be found across Colorado College but are particularly acute within Enrollment Management. Staff within Enrollment Management also note concerns regarding performance management issues, especially those related to conflict management.
