• The Enrollment Shaping initiative, led by Enrollment Services, is developing strategic enrollment goals for IUPUI aimed at meeting Indiana’s needs for improved educational attainment and a workforce that will boost the state’s competitiveness in the 21^st century knowledge economy.  Efforts coordinated by Enrollment Services generated record numbers of applications and admissions and better prepared applicants and admitted students for both Fall 2006 and Fall 2007.
• University College continued expanding programs that boost learning and academic success for entering students.  The Summer Academy Bridge Program  served 256 students in Summer 2006 and planned further expansion for Summer 2007.   The two-week program provides incoming freshmen with an intensive introduction to the campus and to college academic expectations.  The college also offers a free summer math program to at-risk incoming students to help them develop math skills they will need to succeed academically.  These initiatives, along with a new strengths-based advising and career counseling program, and increases in the number and dollar value of scholarships, will support continued improvement in retention and graduation rates.
• IUPUI continues to build bridges to Ivy Tech Central Indiana as a means of attracting and retaining transfer students.  A new program begun by the Office of Research and Sponsored Programs uses collaborative student research opportunities to help create a seamless transition for students majoring in Biology, Chemistry, and Psychology.
• The Office of Student Life sponsored the Movin’ On transition-to-college program for students from 11 area high schools.  Movin’ On is the only program of its kind in the state.
