This document is the inaugural Strategic Enrollment Management (SEM) Plan for Keweenaw Bay Ojibwa Community College (KBOCC), covering 2026-2029. It is a formal institutional planning document approved by the Board of Regents, intended for college leadership, faculty, staff, and community stakeholders.
The plan opens with the purpose and acknowledgements, including approval dates and recognition of contributions from the Student Success Council, Faculty Council, and cultural advisor Jon Dowd. It then presents the vision and student success definition, emphasizing Anishinaabe values and holistic learner development.
A central section explains the Anishinaabe Teaching Lodge framework, which organizes the student journey into four dimensions: preparing for and entering the lodge, living and learning within it, leaving stronger, and strengthening the lodge itself. This framework guides the plan's goals and strategies.
The plan outlines six institutional shifts, such as moving from relationship-centered culture to relationship-centered systems and from reactive to proactive support. It also lists guiding commitments and connects the SEM plan to KBOCC's mission, vision, and values, including the Seven Grandfather Teachings.
Later sections cover the planning foundation, including participation in the American Indian College Fund's Cultivating Native Student Success initiative and the establishment of the Student Success Council in 2024. The document also includes institutional trends and planning implications, though the provided text cuts off mid-sentence.
The table of contents indicates additional sections on goals, strategies, tactics, implementation coordination, review and assessment, and appendices. These later parts are not included in the provided text, so this summary covers only the initial pages.
