Indiana University of Pennsylvania Vice President for Enrollment Management, Patricia Curran McCarthy, has been selected by Ruffalo Noel Levitz to serve on its Undergraduate Enrollment Advisory Board.
RNL works with more than 1,500 colleges and universities throughout the nation on enrollment, student success, and fundraising through data-driven solutions.
Members of the RNL Undergraduate Enrollment Advisory Board were selected from nationally recognized leaders in the enrollment management field. McCarthy is one of 15 members of the advisory board, which includes deans, vice presidents, and presidents from colleges and universities throughout the nation.
“It’s an honor to be invited to join the RNL advisory board,” McCarthy said. “It provides an excellent opportunity to collaborate with colleagues from institutions all over the United States on student success and enrollment strategies that can advantage our own students and IUP’s enrollment management work.”
Thought leaders and veteran enrollment managers chosen for this advisory board will help to guide RNL’s solutions and research, enabling the firm to better serve institutions and their students, RNL officials said.
