Welcome to the Division of Enrollment Management

As Vice President for Enrollment Management, I am proud to lead a division dedicated to supporting students from their first point of contact through graduation and beyond. Our mission is simple yet powerful: to provide seamless, student-centered services that foster access and success. We work collaboratively across Lehman College to ensure every student has the tools and guidance needed to achieve their academic and professional goals.

The Division of Enrollment Management brings together over 20 integrated programs, including Admissions, Financial Aid, the Registrar, Testing, Scholarships, Enrollment Communications and Systems, the First Year Experience, advising programs (Onboard Advising Office, Undergraduate Academic Advising, and Graduation Specialists), Graduate Studies, and a range of student success initiatives such as ACE, SEEK, TRIO, Credit for Prior Learning, Pre-Health Advising, and College Now. By combining operational excellence with innovative strategies, we strive to create a welcoming and efficient experience for all students.

Our team is committed to leveraging technology, data-driven insights, and best practices to anticipate student needs and enhance institutional effectiveness. We invite you to explore our services and resources.
