Abstract: Colleges were plenty worried about an enrollment crash even before the pandemic hit. Undergraduate enrollment has since fallen, with community colleges taking the biggest hit. Themuch-discussed “enrollment cliff” still liesahead, with the number of high-school graduates projected to decline sharply after 2025. On top of that, the future pool islikely to include more low-income and first-generation students, who need broader types of support. All of that has led colleges to look for creative ways to boost enrollment and retention. They’re sharpening their identities, casting a wider net for prospective applicants, and improving the student experience. This collection features many of The Chronicle’s best reads on a topic that’s on everyone’s mind. (From Introduction of Rethinking Admission and Enrollment p.3)
