In October 2011, Cruickshank founded Enrollment Builders, where he serves as principal consultant.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Scott Scarborough, provost and executive vice president for academic affairs, said Cruickshank will play a key leadership role in developing the enrollment management component of the Main Campus Strategic Plan.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPresident Jacobs and our Board of Trustees have made it clear that recruiting and retaining more students who are better prepared academically is a top priority for this University,\u201d Scarborough said. \u201cCam will be an important member of my leadership team as we work to accomplish that goal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAdditionally, I\u2019ve asked Cam to focus his time identifying some of the barriers and challenges that may exist as students navigate the admissions, enrollment and financial aid processes,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Cruickshank, who received his PhD in higher education from The University of Toledo, said he was excited for the opportunity to return to his alma mater and believed he could offer a unique perspective.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the short amount of time I\u2019ve been back, there is definitely a feeling of returning home. There\u2019s also a strong sense of momentum that I\u2019ve gotten from Dr. Scarborough, his team and everyone I\u2019ve met, and it is exciting to be a part of this university,\u201d Cruickshank said.<\/p>\n<p>During the next weeks and months, Cruickshank said he will meet with enrollment personnel to learn more about UT recruitment and enrollment operations, identify future leaders, and work to develop that talent.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe will remain focused on increasing the enrollment of students who are academically better prepared for the rigors of a college education and are a good fit for The University of Toledo,\u201d Cruickshank said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Meet Dr. Cam Cruickshank, UT interim vice provost for enrollment management.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1,7],"tags":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news.utoledo.edu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20356"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news.utoledo.edu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news.utoledo.edu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news.utoledo.edu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news.utoledo.edu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=20356"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/news.utoledo.edu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20356\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news.utoledo.edu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20356"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news.utoledo.edu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=20356"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news.utoledo.edu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=20356"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
