Hello, everyone!

I realize you may have already begun these conversations with your students, but, if not, now could be the perfect time to encourage your students to enroll for classes in the winter term. Registering now would give students the maximum flexibility in scheduling options available, and help with retention as we encourage them to maintain momentum in their educational program. Sometimes students are undecided about their plans for continuing in the subsequent term, and a timely, thoughtful word from a respected faculty member may be what inspires them to get registered. (Not incidentally, this could also help enhance our winter term enrollment, and provide an idea of areas we might need to build out in the winter schedule, too.)

I know things are exceptionally busy this time of the year, and thanks sincerely for considering this suggestion. I hope the Thanksgiving holiday is restful and rejuvenating for you, and filled with opportunities to spend time with the people you care about.

Best to you,

Mike
