Augsburg\u2019s Sustainable Future as a Medium Sized University<\/span><\/h2>\n

Strategic Enrollment Planning at Augsburg \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span><\/h3>\n

One of the Augsburg Strategic Plan\u2019s core goals is to grow as a sustainable university.\u00a0 A strategic focus ondriving enrollment growth across all segments to achieve 5,000 Auggies by 2030. In 2024 the university embarked on a continuous strategic enrollment planning effort in support of the core goal to become a medium sized university. \u00a0 Augsburg partnered with RNL and utilized guidance from the 3rd Edition of Strategic Enrollment Planning, A Dynamic Collaboration. Our approach uses the four-phase recursive process developed by RNL<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

2024 Strategic Enrollment Planning (SEP)<\/span><\/h3>\n

During 2024 there were several SEP advances made related to; a working logic behind 5,000 Auggies by 2030, two final SEP reports from campus wide working groups, and the creation and use of a new strategic enrollment management Planning Machine. Two important themes emerged from the 2024 SEP work; the importance of transparent 60 Day SEP Actions and the need for continuous campus wide ideation on enrollment growth possibilities that lead to 60 day actions.<\/span><\/p>\n
