Who are the speakers? 


Penny Bouman's career in higher education spanned twenty-one years during which she served Ferris State University in a variety of administrative capacities. When she retired in 2008, she was manager of enrollment publications and communications. 

 

As part of a new enrollment management team in the late '90s, Ms. Bouman avidly sought information to improve enrollment communications. Her research assisted Ferris State University in turning its 7-year steady decline in enrollment to a steady increase that continues yet today. Ferris' Fall 2009 official count marked the 11th straight year of such with a 44% overall increase in its student body since those dark years. 

 

The knowledge Ms. Bouman gained from her research provided her with a clear understanding of the characteristics of prospective student audiences, the technology that institutions should employ to communicate with them, and the need to embed the culture of the institution as a distinguishing factor in all strategic marketing initiatives.

 

Today, she continues to share her knowledge in her writings and presentations. She is the co-author and co-editor of many articles on topics pertaining to enrollment management including four AACRAO publications, the latest of which are Sharing the Campus Experience: Hosting Effective Campus Visit Programs and The SEM Imperative: Taking Enrollment Management Online. She has presented at national and regional conferences throughout the nation. 

 

Ms. Bouman holds a Bachelor's degree in Technical and Professional Communication and a Master's degree in Career and Technical Education. She earned both at Ferris State.

What is a webinar?


A webinar is an interactive seminar conducted over the web and is typically 1.5 to 2 hours long. 

  • What is the process?  Webinar participants log into the webinar site with a username and password sent via email.  Participants can print handouts, as we send you a link to the presentation via email approximately 2 days prior to the event. Once logged in, you are able to see the PowerPoint slides, ask questions and make comments via chat, very similar to instant messaging.   
  • Is there a recording available?  Approximately one week after the conclusion of the webinar, you will receive a link to the recording which is yours for one year and can be forwarded to all faculty and staff at your institution for viewing anytime, anywhere. 
  • What equipment is required? An Internet connection, computer speakers and LCD projector if a large group is present.
