Office of Enrollment Management and Student Affairs

Overview

Welcome to the Division of Enrollment Management and Student Affairs at Ramapo College of New Jersey. In July 2015, the divisions of Enrollment Management and Student Affairs merged together to create the new EMSA division to focus on ensuring alignment between our institutional promises we make in marketing and recruitment and delivering those promises throughout the student experience.   Throughout the fall 2015 semester, the leadership of EMSA worked together in creating a vision statement, a How We Work Statement and five overarching goals for the division in response to emerging trends, issues and priorities facing higher education nationally and specifically those facing Ramapo College. My colleague, Melissa VanDerWall, our Dean of Students, oversees Student Affairs which you can learn more about by clicking on the Student Affairs tab to the left.

Ultimately, the Enrollment Management aspect of our division focuses on our institutional Strategic Enrollment Management (SEM) plan which guides Ramapo in recruiting, retaining and graduating an academically prepared, diverse student body of lifelong learners.   Towards that goal, Enrollment Management will:

• Develop and establish enrollment projections and goals that align with the mission, vision and goals established in the Ramapo College Strategic Plan;
• Foster student learning and development by providing a recommended sequence of courses and engaging students in their own academic plans;
• Work collaboratively with all offices on campus to ensure that policies, programs and procedures support enrollment goals;
• Provide an environment that is supportive of student goals and responsive to students’ needs

I encourage you to explore our website, learn more about the offices that are part of the Enrollment Management and Student Affairs division and learn more about what Ramapo, the smallest state College in New Jersey, has to offer.
