Pamela,
Agreed. Have you thought of ways you can help "control" admissions or other steps that might help?

It is amazing to see so many institutions that are on the right track with involvement.
My Team and I are very similar. Each department is very aimed towards the success of the graduates. From admissions painting the path they will go through; Student Services team, and Dean of students offering a variety of support; through our education team restructuring its study halls to meet the needs of our students; to our career services team building the relationships from the beginning to the end with the student body. I believe this flow creates a smooth, simplex structure that works well for our student body.
My only recommendation towards anyone, even in our own team, is to remember that though all of our jobs are systematic or "ratings" jobs, that we remember we work with people, and no one wants to be just a number. But from what I saw of each individual who has posted, they're also going the right direction.
Amber,
It seems as if you have a good process in place and all of your departments are working towards a common goal. I agree completely with your recommendation. We can never forget that we are here for our students, the people.

Our campus' Admissions team begins by a tour of the campus, including a stop at CS office. I am introduced to them and engage them by telling them what I do.
Academics allows me to do guest speaking throughout the life cycle of the student to maintain and build engaging relationships.
Campus Director supports and offers help whenever needed.
