Envisioned in 2025, the division launched under the leadership of James E. Orr, PhD, in spring 2026. A first-of-its-kind division among top ten public institutions, the division’s work encompasses strategic enrollment management, emphasis on the whole student experience, and commitment to academic excellence.
By bringing Strategic Enrollment Management, Student Experience and Academic Excellence together in one unified division, Carolina is reimagining how a top public university supports students as whole people and prepares them for tomorrow.
