VP for Enrollment Management at Mercy University.
I promote college access, affordability, and excellence.
I do my best thinking on trails.

My group came up with this definition for strategic enrollment management. I dig it. #emchat @3Enrollment

Has anyone been able to confirm if colleges/universities are eligible to apply for ECMC FAFSA Student Support Strategy grant? #EMchat #EMtalk @nasfaa

No big deal. I just got to hang out with the legend, @akilbello, all morning. He is the real deal and I am proud to call him a friend in this crazy industry of ours.

[Adam Castro @AdamCastroEdu]

Finally getting @akilbello to Mercy University to speak was on my 2024 to-do list. ☑️
As you can imagine, he did not disappoint (or pull any punches). Thanks for inspiring us today!

I'm honored, @DrBryanGross! Thanks for having me on. Great conversation.

This has been the most exciting and fulfilling recruitment cycle of my career.

Are we SURE Matt Damon is not in New York doing research for a future role as an international student from Norway?

More importantly:
International student enrollment at @mercycollege grew during the pandemic. The sky is the limit.
