D. Office of the vice president for institutional advancement - contributions toward the accomplishment of Goal #2 – Improve the appeal of the campus.
In a way that is similar to the contributions of the office of institutional advancement to goal #1, institutional advancement also promotes the appeal of the campus by supporting the endowment growth of the funds in the student affairs office, especially the athletic endowments of the university and by physically enhancing the beauty of the campus.
Growth of student affairs endowment funds:
New Funds Total
Mr. and Mrs. Salvatore Amore Community Service Fund $0 $34,500
Frank & Lucy Barnak Campus Ministry Fund $0 $26,500
Rita C. & Gerald Guth Student Development Fund $0 $65,000
Athletic Endowment Fund $81,781 $1,151,000
International Learning Endowment Funds $1,000,000 $1,500,000
Facilities and Technology Endowment Funds: $254,540 $6,697,000
Goal #3: Grow the enrollments for the various programs.
Each year in September the registrar’s office presents a snapshot of the enrollment picture of DeSales University as it compares with the same time of the previous year. This provides a benchmark that we use as the basis for viewing the changes that occur during the academic year. You will notice that we started the 2011-2012 academic year with the full-time enrollment (FTE) traditional day numbers up by 1.35% over the 2010-2011 academic year. FTE’s for ACCESS were down by -3.88%, and graduate numbers were up by 6.5%. These numbers will now be used to chart our course over the five years of the new Strategic Plan: 2010-2015. The office of academic affairs oversees the recruitment of students for the ACCESS and the graduate programs. The office of student life supports the growth of the students for the traditional day programs.

You notice that we began the 2011-2012 academic year with an increase of 21 students in full-time day enrollments, a decline of 18 students in ACCESS enrollments, and an increase of 2 in graduate enrollments. The total enrollment number, however, was up by just .45%. We have almost an identical number of students as the prior year as of September 2011.
A. Office of the vice president for academic affairs - contributions toward the accomplishment of Goal #3 – Grow the enrollments for the various programs.
1. ACCESS Program - Although battered by intense competition on one side and technology and the economy on the other, ACCESS continues to stand strong. Our initiatives remain focused on transforming the learning environment into the ideal situation for adult learners.
The goal set forth in the Strategic Plan: 2010-2015 is for ACCESS to achieve 6,364 enrollments, representing a 17% growth overall, by the end of the 2014-2015 academic year.

These main campus numbers are refreshing. I am continually amazed by the ability of our ACCESS staff to out-compete all of the for-profit institutions with their large advertising budgets. It is clear that we have a valuable product and that we deliver it in a way that our loyal students appreciate. Reaching the 6,364 goal for the five-year strategic plan, however, will be difficult.
