SIUE Community,

The Office of Enrollment Management (EM) has identified topics and dates for our October and November EM3 presentations. EM3 is our new series of monthly updates for the campus community on recruitment and retention efforts and emerging trends across the enrollment management landscape. More than 150 students, faculty, and staff attended the September EM3 presentations.

EM at SIUE is a very collaborative endeavor. EM Directors work with deans, divisions, and departments across campus. We engage in a tremendous amount of activity targeted toward the recruitment and support of a diverse student population.

EM3 updates shed light on activities initiated through the SIUE Enrollment Management Plan, New Reality meetings, University Congress discussions, The University Diversity Plan and other recruitment and retention best practices. Each EM3 session will conclude with an update on application, registration and enrollment numbers.

It engages a professional collaboration between model and art students in which dynamic poses are held still for various lengths of time in order to capture movement and expression. Those who practice figure drawing regularly learn the underlying thought and process that aid in conveying the human form convincingly.
