Soumitra Ghosh will serve as the next vice president of Enrollment Management at DePaul. He currently is the vice president for Strategic Enrollment Management at Rowan University in Glassboro, New Jersey. (Office of Admissions/Rowan University)“DePaul is a legend in student access and success in higher
education, and I am thrilled at the opportunity to serve in a role that will
have the honor of shaping the future of this institution that I so respect,”
Ghosh says.
A demonstrated leader in higher education, Ghosh brings
enrollment management experience from a wide range of universities. Currently,
he serves as vice president for Strategic Enrollment Management at Rowan
University, a nationally ranked public research institution in Glassboro, New
Jersey with nearly 20,000 undergraduate and graduate students. His
responsibilities include overseeing the university’s student recruitment and recruitment
marketing initiatives, as well as admissions and financial aid services for
domestic and international students at various levels.
Prior to Rowan, Ghosh served as vice president for Student
Enrollment and Engagement at Quincy University, a small, Catholic, liberal arts
university in Western Illinois.
“My professional path in enrollment management has been
non-conventional,” Ghosh says. “I started in the student success and academic
support side of university operations and was fortunate to find myself immersed
in the broad and intricate latticework of enrollment management at Quincy
University.”
With a doctorate in English and Screen Studies, Ghosh
started his career as an assistant professor of humanities and director of the
Academic Success Center at St. Gregory’s University in Shawnee, Oklahoma. From
there, he became dean for Academic Support at Quincy University, where his responsibilities
expanded to include enrollment management.
“In addition to his extensive experience in higher
education, Soumitra demonstrates a deep respect and passion for serving a
mission-oriented university,” Interim Provost Salma Ghanem says. “His
dedication to student access combined with his innovative approach to
overcoming challenges will benefit our entire university community.”
Ghosh earned his Ph.D. in English and Screen Studies at Oklahoma
State University. He holds a master’s and a bachelor’s degree in English
Literature from Calcutta University in West Bengal, India.
