Dawn Medley, Ed.D., has joined Drexel University as senior vice president for Enrollment Management. As the vice provost for Enrollment Management and Retention at SUNY-Stony Brook University, Dr. Medley led all international and domestic enrollment efforts at the undergraduate and graduate levels. She also served as the chief enrollment and financial aid officer for the institution and was responsible for all incoming student marketing and communications.

As a result, Stony Brook increased applications by 20% for this academic year and welcomed the largest first-year class in its history while also improving selectivity and yield, developing new communications campaigns and building a division of enrollment management focused on student outcomes.
