UNDERGRADUATE RECRUITMENT  Close to 2,600 prospective students (including students in grade 12, some who have already received offers, as well as grade 11 students who are starting their research on attending university) and their families participated in March Break Open House events and campus tours this year. The Department of Housing and Residence Life Services had a great response from those who attended resi- dence tours as part of the open house days:  March 9: Faculty of Engineering and Design; Faculty of Science  March 15: Sprott School of Business  March 16: Faculty of Public Affairs; Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences  March 11-15: Tour Days  We are currently planning our Spring Open House on May 11, 2019, for stu- dents who have received offers of admission. Our Spring Open House will high- light the student experience and student services.  In collaboration with faculty in the academic departments, we are completing our “congratulations call campaign” to students with offers of admission.  Recruitment Officers visited 12 Ontario college campuses in the winter term to meet with prospective students. We held an on-campus College Advising Ses- sion on February 22, 2019, to coincide with the winter break for Algonquin Col- lege students. New this year, we offered two online live chat sessions with pro- spective college students on February 25 and February 28, 2019, coinciding with winter breaks at other Ontario colleges.  Our Recruitment Officers will be visiting multiple cities in California, Connecti- cut, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Virginia and Vermont throughout April. We will also be participating in an International Education Fair in Vancouver.  Carleton University will host the Ontario Universities’ Guidance Dialogues on May 3, 2019. Guidance Counsellors from across Ontario will visit campus to meet with undergraduate recruitment representatives from all of the Ontario universities.  We have expanded our grade 10 Career Class presentations to more high schools in Ottawa.

Office of the Vice-President (Students and Enrolment) STUDENT SUCCESS AND STUDENT EXPERIENCE  We have seen 42 individuals complete the Student Support Certificate which was launched in October, 2018. More than 238 people are on their way to com- pleting the certificate and have participated in at least one workshop. By com- pleting the Student Support Certificate, these faculty and staff members have demonstrated their commitment to growth, development and student support at Carleton.  Relay for Life Carleton surpassed $150,000 in funds raised during this year’s campaign. With the funds raised this year, the most funds raised in a given year, Carleton became the first post-secondary institution to raise $1 million in 10 years.  As of March 22, 2019, the Co-Curricular Record (CCR) has had 7,380 student engagements over the past year which is an increase of 12% compared to this time in 2017-2018. Additionally, the local community engaged learning pro- gram, Campus to Community, has seen a record number of student engage- ments this year. 480 students have participated so far with 15 community part- ners and 63 different experiences. These increases are primarily due to the ex- tra support provided by the Government of Ontario’s Career Ready Fund.  The Campus Activity Board (CAB) has seen more than 6,900 students participate in over 50 student events this year including Ride for Less, Epic Bingo and paint nights.  The Centre for Student Academic Support (CSAS) saw close to 10,000 students complete in-person or online workshops over the fall and winter terms.  The Academic Advising Centre (AAC) is currently reaching out to unregistered students within 2.0 credits of graduation to review options for completing their degree. In partnership with the Awards and Financial Aid Office, the AAC is offering eligible students a $1,000 tuition grant to help them cover the costs of completing their degree at Carleton.  During the fall and winter terms, advisors from the Academic Advising Centre presented to 28 first year seminar (FYSM) classes and reached an audience of approximately 840 first-year students. The presentation introduced students to the academic audit, covered important information about the annual Academic Performance Evaluation (APE) process and highlighted various campus supports designed to help with the transition from high school to university.  The International Student Services Office (ISSO) hosted a representative from the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP) to present on streams for in- ternational students on March 12, 2019. Additionally, the ISSO hosted a repre- sentative from Immigration Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) to present on “Express Entry Pathways to Permanent Residence.” Both sessions were well received by students.  The From Intention to Action (FITA) program has begun delivering group coun- selling/workshops based in positive psychology called Thriving in Action. FITA intends to run a few of the group counselling/workshops every year. Initial feedback is great and students have really enjoyed them.

Office of the Vice-President (Students and Enrolment)  The Department of Housing and Residence Life Services facilitated a smooth move-out for over 3,600 residence students.  The Residence Life Services team has finalized their new educational priority as part of their updated curricular approach. They will be striving to achieve the following statement “Living in residence at Carleton University will develop graduates who belong and meaningfully contribute to their communities.” With intentional implementation and assessment, there is specific focus on identity development, purpose, resilience, life skills, relationship building, conflict reso- lution, communicating across difference and community engagement.  For the fall 2018 term, Scheduling and Examination Services processed 2,219 ad -hoc room requests submitted by 418 users. 93 departments on campus are using the Enterprise room booking tool with the majority of requests coming from the Centre for Student Academic Support, Sprott School of Business and the Faculty of Engineering.
