By Stephanie Markham Administration Editor

With the last two Noel-Levitz con- sultations having been canceled, East- ern’s strategic enrollment planning ef- forts may take longer than expected. Noel-Levitz, the enrollment manage- ment consulting service, hosted an open forum in January where the consultants shared information about the process and gathered ideas from about 100 fac- ulty and staff members. Colleen Murphy, the marketing and recruitment consultant, was scheduled to come to campus to write a final plan in February and was rescheduled for March 25-26.
