LAC Co-ChairsSamantha Taylor Kate Richardson UPDATE:Strategic Enrollment Management WorkshopBuilding Engagement for Implementing and Sustaining Your SEM Plan Presenter: Dr. Rob Hornberger
Session OverviewThis workshop will cover approaches for keeping institutional leadership engaged with Strategic Enrollment Management (SEM) as a campus-wide enterprise tool while operationally applying lessons learned to iteratively adjust SEM strategies and tactics to respond to enrollment pressures. Participants will explore how to manage initiative fatigue by using a concept called LinkEX to link and integrate multiple initiatives with SEM to extend benefit for the institution. Drawing on actual case studies the workshop will include how to build engagement and support for effective SEM plan implementation; how to keep institutional leadership engaged in SEM; how to apply operational lessons learned to adjust SEM tactics on the fly; and how to create effective SEM implementation teams as a proactive response for enrollment health and student success. Regardless if you have a SEM plan or not, participants will learn implementing and sustaining lessons applicable to any planning. This will be an interactive session with the opportunity for participants to engage with the presenter and each other to share experiences and explore solutions to challenges and opportunities they are encountering. Keynote SpeakerMr. Frederick Shegog, The Message LLC President, Motivational Speaker
Dumpster diving, panhandling, and drinking were once everyday activities for Frederick Shegog. Despite a decade of alcohol abuse and time spent homeless, Shegog transformed himself. First, he was a successful college graduate, now a public speaker passionate about sharing his transformational journey to recovery. Frederick has presented keynote addresses to educational conferences, colleges, and other venues nationwide, including Achieving the Dream (ATD) and The National Institute for Staff Organizational Development (NISOD). Frederick is a member of multiple boards that support various community outreach initiatives, including the Student’s Recovery Board, which provides online recovery support grounded in equity and justice, and the Board of BHI, which focuses on substance use disorders and related mental health conditions in teens. Frederick also consults with the Clara Brown Entrepreneurial Academy in Aurora, Colorado, promoting an entrepreneurial mindset for young minds. His participation at various press conferences with Governor Tom Wolfe of Pennsylvania contributed to passing the Pennsylvania Hunger Free Campus Bill. An exposé on Frederick’s life was published in the March 2022 edition of the Chronicle of Higher Education, titled “The Redemption of Frederick Shegog,” and received the Education Writers Award for a feature story. He was voted a Philadelphia Region's Black Men Icon of 2020. A documentary of his life story is forthcoming.
