Through his ongoing efforts, Academic Affairs has developed consistent and integrated services for records and registration, financial aid, admissions, orientation, advising, the student information system, and more. With Freeman\u2019s guidance, the university has established the Center for Advisement, the Advisors\u2019 Council, and a research, data-informed approach for using the advising process to increase retention and student success. Through his leadership and contributions, the UTC Student Success Center developed a proposal and secured grant funding to increase services and matriculation rates for high risk academic and developmental students. In addition, Freeman served as chair for the Enrollment Management team, which developed a strategy for enrollment growth and increasing freshman quality indicators.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Using a data-informed process for decision making and organizational transformation, Freeman has developed strategies for cross-divisional enrollment groups to work together as they focus on strategic enrollment management, improved freshman success processes, and streamlined services to all constituents. Through these efforts, along with other enrollment services and retention strategies, Freeman has supported the university to earn solid evaluations with the Tennessee Complete College funding (performance funding) process as well as maintain strong levels of enrollment, progression, and completion.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Freeman is as actively engaged in \u00a0the community as he is with the University. His contributions span a diverse array of areas where he serves on a number of committees and boards.. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Freeman is a proud alumnus twice over with his B.S. in Political Science and M.A. of Public Administration both earned at UTC. He is currently working on a Doctorate\u00a0in Learning and Leadership; Freeman\u2019s dissertation topic will allow him to continue to assist the University by creating a model for predicting student success and retention, based on the Tennessee Lottery Scholarship.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yancy Freeman has been promoted to Associate Provost for Enrollment Services at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga.<\/p>\n<p class=\"more-link-wrap\"><span><a class=\"more-link button text\" href=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/2016\/08\/yancy-freeman-promoted-associate-provost-enrollment-services\/\">Continue Reading <\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":857,"featured_media":15792,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_slider":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_featurette":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7712,8244],"tags":[48133,202,48134],"class_list":{"0":"post-15791","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-faculty-and-staff","8":"category-honors-and-awards","9":"tag-associate-provost-for-enrollment-services","10":"tag-faculty-achievement","11":"tag-yancy-freeman","12":"entry"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Yancy Freeman promoted to Associate Provost for Enrollment Services | UTC News Archive: Jul 2007 - Oct 2025<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Yancy Freeman has been promoted to Associate Provost for Enrollment Services at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga.
