A Message from the Vice President

 

Richard Finger, Vice President for Enrollment Management

Dear Friends,

Welcome to our homepage, which represents the 24 unique programs housed in the Division of Enrollment Management. Our programs are committed to creating a high-quality student experience from the moment students first learn about Lehman to graduation. We are guided by the simple goal that every student who shows the promise to succeed should be afforded an opportunity to attend and thrive at Lehman.

The division is uniquely structured to support students holistically from recruitment through graduation. It is home to core enrollment management areas, including Admissions, Financial Aid, the Registrar, Academic Testing, Scholarships, and a host of Academic Programs, including the Freshman Year Initiative, Instructional Support Services Program, College Now, and Credit for Prior Learning. Student Success programs, including ACE, SEEK, TRIO, Learning Recovery, Pre-Health Advising, Graduate Studies, the Onboard Advising Office, the Undergraduate Advising Office, the Graduation Specialist Initiative, and the Office of Enrollment Communications and Technology, are housed in the division.

Please take a moment to review the website. In the coming months, we will thoroughly update this space, including our leadership information, scholarly activities, and service to the campus community. In addition, we will launch a series of white papers to share impactful best practices.

Thanks again for taking the time to visit this page.

Sincerely,

Richard T. Finger, DHA
Vice President,
Enrollment Management
