The three deans, plus Chief Financial Officer Tyson Otto and President Klaver form a five member administrative team. In working toward the goal of increasing enrollment, Doctor Klaver noted the additional resources will allow the college to address efforts to enhance enrollment. Part of that has the admissions office reporting directly to Doctor Klaver who noted the overall focus is subject to re-evaluation after a period of months.
