“The FERPA workshop you presented to the faculty was outstanding! Your presentation was well organized and informative. You not only helped us think about changes we need to make, but also helped us brainstorm ways to facilitate these changes. Every faculty member should be required to attend this workshop. Thanks so much.

It really was a great workshop!

Dr. Evelyn R. Babey served as a consultant and acting Registrar at the Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT) for six months. . . . Dr. Babey assisted in examining and improving the operations and customer service of the Registrar’s Office to support efforts to strengthen recruitment, enrollment, and retention of our students. She also served as a mentor and role model for the Registrar.

Dr. Babey’s extensive background and higher education experience enabled her to understand quickly the complexities of IIT. . . . Her knowledge and experience with . . . SungardHE’s Banner ERP system helped us understand the full capacity of Banner as well as what to expect during implementation. . . .

Dr. Babey’s management and leadership skills were evident soon after her arrival. She was proactive in identifying issues and solutions, many of which were implemented before her consultancy ended. She rapidly established good working relationships with the Registrar staff, seeking their input and involvement in making recommendations for change. . . .

Dr. Babey demonstrated a professionalism that made her a role model not only to the registrar staff but to other staff at IIT. By her demeanor, and through her work, she rapidly earned the respect of those with whom she came in contact. She has an engaging personality, is warm and open, and brings a sense of humor to her work. . . . I particularly valued her as an advisor not only in the registrar area but in other areas that impact IIT’s enrollment management efforts. I recommend her without reservations.

“[Dr. Babey] was extremely helpful in assisting us in asking the right questions about how to improve Registrar operations; being proactive about suggesting improvements and identifying solutions; and she effectively motivated the Registrar’s staff to make their own suggestions about how to improve their jobs. She was particularly helpful in helping us identify ways to better use technology in our activities. Her final report was complete, concise and solution-oriented. This was a completely positive experience for me, the university, and, most particularly, the Registrar’s staff. She had a big impact on helping us make important, long-overdue changes, in our operations. I recommend her without reservation.”

I've had the pleasure of succeeding Dr. Babey at National-Louis University. Dr. Babey served my institution as Interim Registrar for approximately seven months prior to my arrival.

As a result of Dr. Babey's work, I inherited a Registrar's Office that was much better organized, more efficient, and had a clearer sense of vision. Her experience and expertise were very valuable to NLU.

I enthusiastically recommend RESCCU to institutions that are looking for interim leadership and/or external expertise."

“RESCCU rescued National-Louis University (NLU) in 2003! Dr. Babey served as our Interim Registrar for seven months. She brought a breadth of experiences and knowledge which allowed her to quickly understand NLU’s complexity. Dr. Babey’s role as Interim Registrar enabled NLU to accomplish many things that someone new to the role would not have been able to do. She paved the way for NLU to successfully hire a new Registrar…. Her work laid the groundwork and gives the new Registrar a much greater chance for success. She is great!”

"While working on a development plan for a university in West Africa, I needed someone who knew enrollment management and student support service issues thoroughly, and who could apply that knowledge in different cultural settings. I knew that my friend and colleague, Evelyn Babey, was the person I needed. I requested that she be assigned to the development team. I was gratified when she said she would help me. As we worked together I came to appreciate more the depth and breadth of her knowledge, but even more satisfying was the skill with which she applied her knowledge. Evelyn effortlessly related service needs to technology to programs, and produced a comprehensive plan for enrollment management and student services. I found her to be a very impressive professional and a pleasure to work with."

"I worked closely with Dr. Babey over a period of 10 years when she was the Registrar at UC Davis. She was the key contributor who ensured that the campus investment in classrooms met our program needs and were a good value. Because of her keen awareness of faculty needs, she was able to guide effectively the design professions assigned to our classroom projects. She was also most knowledgeable of the ’big picture’ issues involving our classrooms, such as management strategies to improve utilization. I am convinced that to have an effective capital investment plan, you need competent program leaders to oversee the programming and design process. Dr. Babey provided this leadership on behalf of our campus, and I believe her contributions were essential to the success of our projects. I would recommend that any institution contemplating an investment in new classrooms seek her advice before beginning the planning process."

"I had the pleasure of working with Evelyn Babey for over six years while she was a member of the Enrollment Services division of Student Affairs. During her time as Registrar at UC Davis, Evelyn was a creative and energetic manager. She was an instrumental member of the team that implemented a new student information system suggesting enhancements along the way. She was constantly seeking new ways to enhance customer service. Evelyn implemented a staffing plan that improves service to students by empowering staff to handle all records processes for each student, an enhancement that is still in use today at Davis. Evelyn was particularly creative in managing internal office space by proposing new configurations to utilize sometimes less than optimum physical facilities. Early on in the advent of new technology, Evelyn introduced telephone registration, computerized classroom scheduling, and the first student service kiosks on campus. She was instrumental in introducing a degree audit system which is currently being implemented on campus. Evelyn was constantly seeking new ways to improve services."

"I worked with Dr. Evelyn Babey to establish a cooperative writing program between the University of California at Davis and Sacramento City College during the 1993-94 academic year. The arrangement was refined and its scope expanded over the next two school years. Dr. Babey's knowledge of the registration systems, facility needs, and instructional requirements is thorough, and her direct experience in these areas helped to produce a program that is now considered a state-wide model."
