Institute Mission

GISEM is designed to promote industry expertise in the field of collegiate enrollment management strategies.

These upgraded sessions advance progress in professional development as illustrated by the 2005 pilot Advance Track focus for veteran Enrollment Professionals offered at the GACRAO Conference held at Jekyll Island. This pilot won AACRAO’s Elbert Ockerman award for State and Regional Professional Activities.

Professional Development Opportunity

By attending two annual conference institutes and completing prescribed field experiences, GISEM participants attain the distinction of Registered Enrollment Professional (REP). However, completion of the 30 contact hour requirements for the REP is voluntary; veteran professionals may choose to attend the advance track sessions for professional development and not pursue the optional certificate program.

Beginning at the 2006 Annual Conference at the Lanier Islands, specially designed advanced-track sessions offer professional development opportunities for both veteran and new enrollment officers.
