Testimonials

On the Community College Symposium:

"Finally, an enrollment management workshop designed to speak to the unique needs of community colleges...the symposium not only focused on community colleges, but was a perfect blend of practical suggestions and bigger picture trends and perspectives."

Patrick Tigue, Vice President for Enrollment Management and Student Affairs, Springfield Technical Community College

"This was a five star experience! The topics were relevant to my position and the strategies were practical for community college leaders...it was by far the best conference I have ever attended. I look forward to future conferences sponsored by SAS or SEM WORKS."

Tina L. White, Director of Admissions/Enrollment Management, West Kentucky Community and Technical College

"Few experiences have met or exceeded this one. Very focused, and a nice blend of theory and direct application."

Faith Harland-White, Dean of Continuing Education and Professional Studies, Anne Arundel Community College

"Awesome. Applicable. Actionable. Attainable! I am leaving here with a toolkit that will assist our college in strategically managing enrollment. This is one of the best professional development experiences I've encountered."
