I really like the culture of building trust, setting high standards, and being transparent with others. As I envision myself starting out in this role, having healthy relationships with employees and students reflects the values and mission of the school and in my personal life. 

A culture of compliance means that we have built trust that our institutions mission statement is carried throughout all interactions with the students. 

It is important to safekeep all student documents, files, transcripts...How do you make sure, in your institutions, that all of these documents are safe?

I learned the importance of the recruitment/admissions job at a higher learning institutions in Florida. I am also aware now that there are very specific set of rules and behaviors that need to be followed, and a permanent learning process to stay informed about changes. It is a lifelong process.

I have a feeling our resource notebook is out of date with some of our catalog changes.  Time to get to work :)

I learned that under Section 504 ensures that students with disabilities have equal access to education and that schools that receive federal funding are required to provide accommidations and services to students with disabilities.

I learned you can't post about your programs in a "Help Wanted Section" of the classifieds.  A) that's a really creative marketing idea B) It's funny that this is not allowed. ;)

Admissions needs to start the file on each student and then pass it off to the registrar it seems.

Yeah, I learned that ALL admissions employees need to go through the training right away.  

There are a lot of ins and outs to the process and it is important to know them. Things like pointing out your own areas of improvement but keeping the tone positive and writing in a plan of action to be better. Knowing to not refer back to other points but to write things out anew.
