Assistant Vice President Enrollment Management Jobs

Assistant Vice President - Enrollment Management

Lehman College, a senior college of The City University of New York, is nationally recognized for its commitment to educational access, academic excellence, and upward mobility. Serving one of the most diverse student populations in the nation, Lehman is dedicated to empowering students through high impact educational experiences, strong academic support, and comprehensive pathways to degree completion and career success. Within this mission, the Division of Enrollment Management plays a pivotal role in advancing student opportunity and achievement by integrating recruitment, retention, engagement, and completion strategies across the student lifecycle. The Division’s work reflects Lehman’s core values: expanding access, ensuring opportunity, and transforming the lives of students, their families, and their communities.

The Assistant Vice President of Enrollment Management provides strategic leadership and operational oversight for core enrollment functions at Lehman College. Reporting to the Vice President of Enrollment Management, the AVP directly oversees Admissions Processing, Recruitment, Admissions Technologies & Events, Scholarships & Awards, and College Now (Dual Enrollment). In addition the AVP will lead the division in the absence of the Vice President. The AVP ensures cohesive, student centered operations serving undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral populations; leads the college’s K-16 pathway initiatives—including bridge programs, professional apprenticeships, and other structured pathways; and spearheads the division’s grant‑writing efforts to support enrollment innovation and student success. This role requires a collaborative, results-oriented leader with a strong commitment to access and cross‑divisional partnership.

• Work in partnership with Strategic Persistence Initiatives, Credit for Prior Learning, and transfer leadership to strengthen community college pathways and adult learner pipelines, including the strategic use of prior learning assessment to support access and degree completion.
