Enrollment team achieves success during challenging recruitment season When COVID-19 hit in March, shutting down campuses and school districts everywhere, university enrollment divisions faced an unprecedented challenge to reimagine the recruiting and enrollment process. Formulating strategies to virtually engage students and parents took top priority. Stephanie Holley, Vice President of Student Access and Success, and her team of about 65, also found that prospective students were either hesitant to start college during a pandemic or chose to remain in their comfort zone at a local community college. Across the country, enrollment divisions are struggling to match the previous semester's enrollment, let alone meet growth goals for fall that are critical to a university's budget. Many are falling well short. Holley's division, however, is not. They are finding new ways to reach students by conducting virtual online sessions and implementing other new concepts. UNT Dallas set record enrollment during Summer 2020. And through tireless work, enrollment for Fall 2020 is
ahead of last year -- a full 2% in headcount and 3% in credit hours. Holley's team is now closing in on Fall 2020 enrollment growth goals. These are rare positive numbers during COVID-19, achieved because of intuitive leadership, a creative and determined team and a message that resonated with students that UNT Dallas is here for them at this difficult time. Mobile market project gets a new name and the bus gets a fresh look The UNT Dallas mobile market project has recently undergone a tremendous transformation. Under the guidance of Dr. Kelly Varga and made possible with a grant from Toyota, the mobile market will deliver fresh food to area neighborhoods. Local community members participated in virtual and telephone interviews to help select an official name -- Community Basket: A Mobile Farmers Market. The bus, donated by DART and retrofitted by automotive students at Cedar Valley Community College, has a new look and will deliver fresh produce in neighborhoods with limited access to grocery stores. Due to the pandemic, the official Community Basket rollout may be delayed until spring 2021. However, new ways to utilize the mobile market and support our local communities are being explored with Toyota.
