Action Items:

2. Increase enrollment activities at each campus focused on the area high schools to target those students interested in attending community college.
3. Develop partnerships with area high school CTE programs, early college, etc. - work in conjunction with partners to identify high enrolled programs and develop our course scheduling and programming to better support their students.
4. Increase the number of community events being held at each campus to increase brand recognition, foot traffic and revenue for each location.
5. Identify opportunities to increasing revenue beyond normal campus operations.
6. Develop a partnership onboarding tool designed to identify partner needs and ensure a smooth hand-off and transition among Bristol departments. Tool should identify contacts and follow-up protocols, etc. - could potentially use dynamic forms for this.
