The Department of Strategic Enrollment Planning and Outreach at the University of Colorado Colorado Springs (UCCS) is dedicated to driving the university’s mission forward. We promote a student-centered approach to enrollment growth and success, positioning UCCS as a trailblazer in higher education. By harnessing data-informed strategies, innovative programming, and cross campus collaboration, we aim to attract, retain, and support students. Our focus on community, communication, and innovation ensures that every student thrives in an environment designed for their success.

Central to our mission is the development of a comprehensive and integrated student communication strategy to provide timely, relevant, and personalized engagement at every stage of the student journey. Leveraging technology and data analytics, we deliver consistent messaging that supports students from the moment they inquire about the institution through graduation, empowering students to maximize their success.
