  • Serve as DPAP's representative on the CCPA Enrollment & Recruitment committee.
  • Manage all admissions processes, including tracking, reviewing, and decisioning all student applications.
  • Plan and implement outreach efforts to accepted students to maximize yield and deposited students to minimize melt.
