Darren's philosophy - Strategic Enrollment Management is a comprehensive campuswide total team responsibility - not that of one office or division - an exciting positive opportunity for an institution to collectively plan, align, and strategize about the best ways to prioritize its resources to maximize its enrollment - recruit, retain, serve, and graduate students - no silos, all hands on deck, pulling out all the stops - to aggressively position itself to reflect its unique holistic student experience, character, setting, and advantages to succeed in the increasingly competitive higher education marketplace.
Darren's track record of results and success in Strategic Enrollment Management is second only to his passion, positivity, perseverance, professionalism, colleagueship, and determination to succeed as a leader and team player for the institution and its students where he serves.
