The Opportunity New York Institute of Technology, a dynamic and highly ranked non-profit university anchored by two campuses in Manhattan and on Long Island, seeks an accomplished, data-informed and creative vice president for enrollment management. Committed to educating the next generation of leaders and to inspiring innovation and advancing entrepreneurship, NYIT enrolls approximately 10,000 students on campuses in North America, China and the Middle East. As a forward-thinking institution NYIT has pioneered educational practices to serve student needs since 1955. NYIT offers 90 undergraduate, graduate and professional degrees in 50 fields of study and is home to students from more than 100 countries and from 50 states. Its seven schools and colleges include: School of Architecture and Design; College of Arts and Sciences, School of Engineering and Computing Sciences; School of Health Professions; School of Management; College of Osteopathic Medicine, and the newly formed School of Interdisciplinary Studies and Education. NYIT sponsors 12 NCAA Division II athletic programs and one Division I team. In recent years the university has significantly improved campus facilities and academic programs while branding itself to raise its national and international profile. In 2006 the administration published a bold strategic plan to position NYIT as a model for a 21st-century global university. The updated plan, “NYIT 2030 version 2.0,” was published in 2015 to assess progress to date and re-state key priorities. NYIT now seeks to further transform its enrollment area to exemplify best-in-class practices both nationally and globally. The vice president provides leadership, vision and expertise for enrollment initiatives at all NYIT campuses and champions NYIT’s goal to be a “student-centered” university. Reporting to the president, the vice president for enrollment management plays a major role in guiding the institution as a whole as a member of the president’s council, and he or she is a key senior administrator charged with achieving the university’s retention initiatives. The vice president oversees a staff of over 80 professionals across admissions; financial aid; graduate, international, and global recruitment; student communications; enrollment systems management; and the enrollment services center. The new vice president will bring proven success in leading a sophisticated enrollment program and the personal qualities to support a high-quality and analytically rigorous enrollment program for a global university. For a talented, opportunistic, strategic and data-minded professional, this is a transformational position in which he or she will be able to lead NYIT to a new phase of success in envisioning, planning for, recruiting, admitting and graduating an increasingly talented and diverse student body. The new vice president should have an appropriate advanced degree (doctorate preferred); the ability to work collaboratively and communicate effectively; exceptional analytic strength; strong

financial management and budgeting skills; working knowledge of current academic and enrollment issues globally and nationally; experience in a culturally rich environment; and a strong commitment to providing excellent service to multiple and diverse constituents. The national executive search firm Witt/Kieffer has been retained to assist the university with this recruitment. All inquiries, nominations and applications should be directed to the search firm as indicated at the end of this document.

The Role of the Vice President for Enrollment Management A senior officer of the university reporting directly to the president, the vice president for enrollment management has primary responsibility for developing, articulating and implementing a dynamic, entrepreneurial, anticipatory and data-based enrollment plan that is aligned with the 2030 strategic plan and enrolls and retains an optimal student body across NYIT’s two primary campuses (Old Westbury and Manhattan); an online program; and offsite programs in China, Canada and Abu Dhabi. The successful candidate will partner with the president, other senior officers and the deans of NYIT’s seven schools and colleges to assume broad leadership within and across this complex university while providing the ideas, strategy and leadership to optimize NYIT’s current and future enrollment health. The vice president will provide leadership for a total staff of 80 and manage a financial aid budget of approximately $44 million, and an annual operating budget of approximately $11 million. Direct reports to the vice president include:

• Dean of Enrollment Management • Director of Student Communications • Senior Director of Enrollment Systems Management • Senior Director of Enrollment Services Center • Manager, Business Operations

Following a period of considerable success, marked by a more strategic and analytical approach to enrollment, the vice president is expected to partner with NYIT leadership and faculty in envisioning and developing an updated enrollment plan that is closely linked to the strategic plan and academic goals of the university. He or she will join NYIT at a time when the university is committing increased attention and resources to all matters of student support and success. The vice president will work closely with the deans of each school (minimally with the medical school) and campus in coordinating and extending the goals of an integrated, fully optimized and evidence-based program of student enrollment. As a university that prides itself on innovation and a global reach, NYIT seeks an enrollment leader who will grasp the distinct nature of this institution and employ both traditional and

innovative means to expand the university’s enrollment effectiveness so as to attract, select, enroll and retain a highly diverse and exceptional group of students. In overseeing and coordinating enrollment functions for undergraduate, graduate, online and international students around the world, the vice president will keep student welfare always at the forefront, including anticipation of and responsiveness to matters that influence retention, and will broaden the reach of the university in every part of the country and the globe. This is not a status quo position: New York Institute of Technology seeks an enrollment professional who is a bold, entrepreneurial and pioneering thought partner and leader. The vice president is expected to capitalize on the considerable existing level of interest in and institutional support for enrollment to envision and implement the next era of enrollment success at NYIT. In addition, the vice president will: • Engage in continuously reflective, analytically rigorous and technically sophisticated

dialogues with senior leadership about enrollment possibilities and realities;

• Further develop and support a strong enrollment staff that achieves operational excellence and is optimistic, excited about change, responsive, innovative, analytical and results oriented;

• Routinely analyze data to shape strategic directions and make appropriate adjustments to

an integrated plan that clearly identifies and defines historical university enrollment patterns and forecasts trends in new student markets; regularly reassess effectiveness of recruitment activities and financial aid programs and make appropriate adjustments so as to lead an effort that is continuously proactive and responsive to market forces and university needs;

• Further the development and implementation of the university’s comprehensive enrollment

program, partnering closely with the vice president for marketing and communications to utilize market segmentation, brand marketing and promotional strategies to meet the university’s enrollment goals;

• Optimize financial aid and the leveraging of institutional resources to recruit and retain

students and manage the discount rate and net tuition revenues; look strategically at the interplay of price point, discount rate and perceived value;

• Present enrollment analysis and reports to university leadership; use predictive analytics and

advanced statistical analyisis to develop enrollment projections to meet the goals of the university’s 2030 strategic plan;

• Establish strategic direction, priorities and goals for the overall enrollment division and for

each office within the division, making data-informed proposals and decisions and linking

budgets and expenditures to measurable outcomes while seeking both standard and creative ways to achieve enrollment goals;

• Ensure compliance with federal and state laws, regulations, and guidelines and external

reporting requirements in the areas for which responsible; and • Exploit cutting-edge technologies to reach, track and guide students in the ways they can

best hear and respond to and that provides optimal efficiency and effectiveness for the university.

Enrollment Overview The Enrollment Services division at NYIT comprises the departments of admissions (domestic, graduate, international, and global admissions); enrollment services center, student communications, enrollment systems management; and financial aid. NYIT offers bachelors, masters, first professional, graduate and doctoral degrees through its seven schools and colleges. The vice president is expected to provide university-wide enrollment leadership across undergraduate, graduate, international and online enrollment and over all New York and overseas campuses and sites. NYIT’s Fall 2016 degree-seeking enrollment at its New York campuses was 7,629 men and women. It is noteworthy that approximately half of NYIT’s students are graduate students. In recent years NYIT has by design eliminated a number of programs resulting in lower but stronger enrollments. For the freshman class that entered its New York campuses in fall 2016, NYIT drew a record 10,286 applications and enrolled 786. The transfer class that enrolled in 2016 engendered 1,212 applications and 378 enrolled. Eight hundred sixty nine new graduate students beyond medical students enrolled in fall 2016. The average high school grade point average for admitted freshmen in 2016 is 3.6; the average SAT (critical reading and math) is 1,191. Undergraduates from outside New York represent roughly 26 percent of the student body at the campuses located in New York. Approximately 40 percent of undergraduates (U.S. locations only) are students of color (eight percent black, non-Hispanic; less than one percent American Indian/Alaskan native; 17 percent Asian/Pacific Islander; and 15 percent Hispanic/Latino). Approximately 15 percent of undergraduates at the U.S. locations are international students. Ninety-four percent of full-time degree-seeking students receive some form of financial aid. The university invests $44 million in its students each year through generous financial aid awards. The average award for 2016-2017 (scholarships and grants) is over $12,170 for full-time undergraduate students.

Opportunities and Expectations for Leadership After serving NYIT for three years as vice president for enrollment management, Ron Maggiore, Ph.D. will retire in June of 2017. The new vice president will inherit a well-run and cohesive operation that has benefited from positive leadership and enhanced systems and operations. The enrollment staff is justly proud of their accomplishments over the past decade and is excited to welcome a new leader who will help continue NYIT’s upward trajectory. The new vice president comes at a time of great opportunity as the board hires a new president of New York Institute of Technology. In the past 15 years NYIT has significantly increased the size and quality of its diverse student body of more than 10,000 students from 50 U.S. states and more than 100 nations this year; added more than 300 distinguished faculty members; and opened campuses and sites in North America, the Middle East, Asia and online to complement NYIT’s hub campuses in Manhattan and Long Island, New York. Retiring President Edward Guiliano has made a tangible and lasting impact on NYIT, and this success will allow the new vice president for enrollment to build from a position of significant strength. While the achievements within the university’s enrollment area have been substantial and impressive, the new vice president’s opportunity for impact is significant. Success will require thoughtful planning, leadership, skill and investment of time and resources. Key challenges and opportunities for the vice president’s first few years in office include but are not limited to the following inter-related imperatives: Continue the implementation of NYIT’s enrollment plan and develop a strategy for future success Tuition and fee revenue accounts for a significant portion of NYIT’s operating revenue and maintaining enrollment at optimal levels will continue to be an institutional priority. NYIT is strongly committed to supporting the highest possible ambitions, most of which relate to quality and model practices rather than “big volume.” Given demographic and other challenges within the traditional undergraduate market, the institution has recently focused on growing enrollment of students from outside the New York region, including overseas, and growing the graduate population, which accounts for about 53 percent of enrollment (including the medical school). Upon coming to NYIT, the vice president will thoroughly examine current enrollment practices and develop an evolving strategy to address key priorities for the future. Undergraduate and graduate admissions, financial aid and retention programs will be examined within the context of the current regional and national landscape with an eye to dreaming big, envisioning the optimal enrollment picture for the university across its multiple sites. The new enrollment leader will then develop the structure, programs, initiatives and resources required to get there,

making strategic requests backed by solid planning, robust data and rigorous analysis, clearly tied to measurable objectives and goals. The next vice president will be attuned to enhancing NYIT’s ability to enroll the right mix of students. This is a complex operation with multiple campus sites, each with a different environment and feel. While undergraduate students can study on both campuses, the student who chooses New York City (located in the heart of Manhattan) tends to be very different from the one who chooses Old Westbury, Long Island (which offers a more traditional setting with Division I and II athletic teams). Understanding NYIT’s campuses, identifying the right types of prospective students for the various sites, and developing a targeted marketing strategy for these students will be critical. The new vice president will continue the development and implementation of a comprehensive enrollment communication plan, which will include market segmentation and brand marketing. Advance the university’s competitive standing There is widespread recognition at NYIT that the institution is strong. The institution is solid financially; the academic program is flourishing; and great appreciation exists for the work the entire institution has done in improving its visibility. NYIT has re-positioned itself from its founding as a technical institute to one of increased national and international standing. In so doing, however, the university’s admitted students generally have more – and sometimes more attractive – options before them, and they sometimes choose NYIT and sometimes its competitors. Maintaining this new foothold will require significant energy and skill; continuing the trajectory will demand exceptional leadership. Engage the entire university community in discussing enrollment vision and strategy, furthering a culture of openness, inclusion and rigor The new vice president will be expected to further the open and continuous exploration of enrollment possibilities at multiple levels and places within the university community, making transparent both current and potential benefits and costs associated with various paths and policies. He or she will build collaborative and facilitative relationships with leadership across the university. Frequent and ongoing dialogue with senior administrators and faculty will engender cooperation, trust and confidence and will be essential to the success of the enrollment functions. The vice president will convey the vision for enrollment and promote a tone in the NYIT community of open conversation and common goals so as to engage and galvanize students, staff, faculty, parents and alumni in helping achieve the enrollment vision. Enrollment at NYIT supports the academic mission of the university. She or he will work collaboratively with schools and colleges to actively develop and manage student enrollment goals with the overall objective of everyone working toward the same target. The vice president will model and encourage an openness of communication and accountability in decision-making and information-sharing, bringing a positive attitude and optimistic approach that seeks

workable solutions. The new vice president must have outstanding communication skills and be able both to listen and collaborate, acting as a team player in support of the university as a whole. Partner on retention initiatives

Along with the senior administrative team, the vice president will be expected to play a key role in improving retention. This will require a sophisticated approach to analytics in studying which student populations experience the greatest success at the university or might benefit from interventions. At the undergraduate level, the vice president will be charged with attending constantly to the entire enrollment trajectory of the individuals brought into the university community. At the graduate level, the vice president will serve as thought partner to academic leadership in analyzing student success and time to degree and the further questions and implications that arise from such examinations.

Personal Qualifications and Personal Qualities The ideal candidate must demonstrate progressive experience at a senior level in successfully envisioning, developing, implementing and evaluating an enrollment strategy emphasizing collaboration across an institution. Experience and success at leading change across a complex international organization is desirable. Experience with appropriate information technology and the use of sophisticated data analysis to inform strategic decisions is critical, as is familiarity with financial aid leveraging for recruitment and retention. The ideal candidate will have the following professional qualifications and personal characteristics: • Vision and leadership: ability to lead the creation of NYIT’s future student body with vision

and creativity; an entrepreneurial outlook and eye to new possibilities and emerging challenges; capacity to make strategic decisions and generate innovative ideas and solutions; ability to develop and manage relationships with a diverse array of partners who play different and divergent roles in the university community; and an ability to manage, motivate, and develop synergies and a sense of team among a diverse and disbursed professional staff and to inspire joy in one’s work;

• Strong analytical capacity: the ability to engage in constant strategic analysis of opportunities and challenges; to develop models that support enrollment planning and student retention using advanced predictive analytics; to produce forward-looking, transparent strategic plans and budgets that link expenditures to outcomes; to assess the effectiveness of how unit funds are employed to achieve enrollment goals; to produce regular and systematic comparative reports that detail month-to-month as well as annual progress toward enrollment goals; and to employ information on national and international

• Mature communication skills: strong speaking and writing skills with the ability to articulate a vision effectively to all constituencies including members of the president’s council, enrollment staff, faculty, staff, alumni, trustees and the public;

• Personal qualities: a sense of urgency and engagement; ability to observe, listen, learn and

clarify needs while engendering trust quickly among various constituencies; articulateness; honesty, integrity, candor and a strong internal moral compass; genuine interest in forming a team with key academic leaders; a personal presence that is active and inclusive; proven skill dealing with complex and diverse cultures, backgrounds and perspectives; wisdom; sound judgment; and a good sense of humor; and

NYIT’s VisionIn 2006, the institution developed a long-term strategic plan informing its vision for the future and specific goals to be met by 2030 in order to position NYIT as a model 21st-century global institution. The plan review has led to a restatement of NYIT’s goals for 2030, which reflect the accomplishments of the past ten years, the changes around us, and our higher ambitions for the future.
