Care and Service Commitments
“ Get. Keep. Graduate." originated during early discussions when organizing initial strategic planning subcommittees. As the Strategic Planning Committee reflected on the core principles that guide our efforts in student engagement and enrollment management, we centered on students. From the moment of initial interaction until their graduation day and beyond, students ' needs, experiences, and success are the primary focus. In discussions as a full strategic planning committee, it was clear that our focus was on the student journey. While our responsibilities encompass recruitment, retention, and support through degree attainment, we prioritized simplicity of language. In layman ' s terms, our objectives are to " Get " Monarchs by attracting and enrolling them, " Keep " Monarchs by supporting persistence, and " Graduate " Monarchs by encouraging the successful completion of their degrees.

While our motto signifies what work we strive to carry out, our care and service commitments are at the heart of how we serve our students, support our colleagues, and uphold our own wellbeing. These commitments help us frame our efforts, ensuring our actions align with what is most important: creating an environment where students feel valued, understood, and empowered to succeed both academically and personally, while promoting a culture of mutual respect, support, and collaboration for all. As we shift to the introduction and execution of our strategic goals, remember to focus on the“ what” and“ how” behind our work.
