Leadership Lessons

• Though tempting to try and control One Stop implementation, it takes cross campus involvement

• Do not use a One Stop implementation as an opportunity to reduce staffing

• Plan for a larger volume than individual functions experienced on their own

AACRAO SEM CONFERENCE 2013

Page 18: Building a Foundation for SEM Through a One Stop Center Implementation

Leadership Lessons (continued)

• Implement technology before your One Stop opens

• Open your One Stop Center during a non-peak period

• Begin staff training programs well in advance of your opening

AACRAO SEM CONFERENCE 2013

Page 19: Building a Foundation for SEM Through a One Stop Center Implementation

Leadership Lessons (continued)

• Customer service training is critical to a Center’s success

• Educate faculty and others not involved in the enrollment process about One Stop Center goals

• Plan for growth
