| Abstract | The new millennium introduced an increased demand for admission to the University of California. Predictions were that between the years 2000 and 2010 that it would need to grow by more than 50,000 students -- 5,000 students annually -- to accommodate Tidal Wave II, the children of the Baby Boomers who would be seeking a UC education. Such rapid expansion posed challenges for the University and its leaders. As a means of accommodating the anticipated rapid increase in enrollment, the summer term was identified by the State to receive funding for the reduction of student fees with the intention of attracting increased student participation in the summer.; Through interviews with the provost of the UC system, policy analysts and divisional leaders at four sites within the University; three campuses and the University Office of the President, this study identified changes in the leadership roles of divisional leaders as they implemented strategies and structural changes for summer enrollment management. Understanding the impact of changes that a State funded summer term brought to the structure and mission of the Summer Sessions' units on the campuses was also explored.; This study found that divisional leaders engaged in collaborative efforts and formed strategic campus partnerships in order to move their enrollment management agendas forward.; Summer divisional leaders have had a pivotal role in shaping enrollment goals, fee structures and advising infrastructures for their organizations. With this change in their roles, they are now leading organizations which have adapted to dramatically shifting enrollment patterns and changes in their economic models.; Recommendations for future practice include clearly articulating that summer should continue to be a permanent part of the academic planning mission, both as it relates to curriculum implications and related economic considerations. As the predicted decade of Tidal Wave II enrollment increases plays out, a continuing issue for summer divisional leaders will be to maintain a balance between maintaining core curriculum that assists students in timely progress toward their degrees, building and maintaining innovative, new programming, and meeting the expected enrollment goals for summer expansion within a State funded economy. |
