Gregory E. Eichhorn was named vice president for enrollment and student success in July 2019. He oversees student affairs, enrollment, retention services, and marketing. He is charged with ensuring the University enrolls a diverse and academically talented undergraduate and graduate student body, expanding marketing outreach efforts, and strategizing around issues of retention and student success.
He previously served as vice president for admissions and financial aid at Quinnipiac University, where he oversaw undergraduate and graduate admissions and university-wide financial aid for a total enrollment of approximately 10,000 students. He led the integration of a financial aid leveraging model to manage the discount rate (five points below the national private university average) and improved net tuition revenue.
Prior to joining Quinnipiac in 2016, Eichhorn worked at Albright College in Pennsylvania for 23 years, most recently as vice president of enrollment management and dean of admissions. In that role, he oversaw an enrollment division comprising admissions, financial aid, retention, athletics, camps, and conferences. Under his leadership, enrollment increased from 926 students to more than 2,400 through improvements in recruitment and retention strategies.
He earned his bachelor’s degree in marketing, with a minor in economics, from Fairfield University and an MBA in management from Hofstra University.
