The Mission of the University of Missouri – Rolla is to integrate exceptional education and research to solve problems for our State and the technological world.

The Vision of the University of Missouri-Rolla is to be a top-five technological research university by 2011.

2. Be honest and positive at all times. Never feel pressure to make things up or answer questions you do not know the answers to. Feel free to say, “I don’t know,but I will find out and get back to you.”

3. You are the University – everything you say, how you look and act will be the guests vision and image of UMR. Take your role and the responsibility that goes with it very seriously.

Core Enrollment Management Performance Expectations

1. Managerial Philosophy: Follow the “Platinum Rule” Do unto others as you would prefer them to do unto you

1. Student Service Philosophy: Find ways to say “YES”

1. Operational Philosophy:Make data based decisions & do the basics better than everyone else

Core Market Challenges: Changes in the college-bound student markets

The Midwest will experience a 4% to 10% decline in high school graduates between 2007 – 2012 (Source: WICHE, 2003: Knocking at the College Door)

The profile of college-bound students is rapidly becoming more ethnically diverse and female dominant (Source: NCES, 2005; WICHE, 2003)

The number of students interested in engineering, computer science, and natural science degrees has declined to record lows (Source: ACT, 2003: Maintaining a Strong Engineering Workforce Policy Report; National Academies, Rising Above the Gathering Storm, 2006)

More full-time college freshmen are choosing to start at two-year colleges (Source: US Department of Education IPEDS. 2005; Source: Missouri Department of Higher Education, 2005)

More students are enrolling in more than one college at a time (Source: National Student Clearinghouse, 2005; Noel Levitz, 2004; College Board, 2006)

Future student market growth will include more students requiring financial aid and loans to complete a degree (Source: WICHE, 2003)
