Melody, That is a great perspective! Thank you for posting. Dr. Jean Norris
Wanda, Engaging everyone is the best practice! Thank you for sharing! Dr. Jean Norris

It's amazing to me how the proactive strategy of shopping your own schools can be viewed as negative by admissions personnel.  After all, there are SO many great things happening that should be celebrated.  On the occasion of an infraction...shouldn't that be viewed as a training opportunity?  Why do so many view as a GOTCHA???

Another lesson learned this week that outdated approaches in admissions will not be tolerated.  Anything less than 100% compliance and transparency is unacceptable.  How do you balance getting enrollments (numbers) and the profit motive with these expectations?

When an organization is so broken the government shuts it down...what happened at the leadership level that allowed this to happen?

Danny, That can be a challenge. What do you say to a student with this challenge? Dr. Jean Norris
Henry, Interesting! We agree that listening is key. I'm curious, do you feel the only reason that students go to school is because the pain in their life? Dr. Jean Norris
