One of the purposes of this learning module is to develop the capacity to anticipate problems and pitfalls associated with the budget management process before they arise. Even the best leaders must acknowledge that there are going to be times when all the thoughtful planning in the world won't keep an organization from running into challenges associated with the budget management process and indeed having to be put in a place of responding to it. For this discussion, articulate some steps that you have learned because of this learning module in relationship to anticipating problems with the budget management process. How would you prepare yourself to anticipate these upcoming challenges? What steps would you take to prepare yourself?

In this module, we learned about fiscal implications and the role of retention and persistence in the enrollment process. Clearly, having high levels of retention and supporting students in maintaining their persistence goes a long way in ensuring that enrollment figures meet goals and objectives that the university is successful. What specific strategies did you learn that would be helpful to a new enrollment specialist in terms of increasing retention and making persistence a more thoughtful and strategic process? What steps could you take to make this process more effective?
