How do I guide my team to become conscious about the importance of understanding cultural diversity and be sensitive to differences in the Spanish language as well as the way people interact?

This course was selected knowing the content will offer content we can employ in our organization. Based on our limited budget this course is ideal, the tools offer are most crucial and affordable in our marketing/publicity arsenal. A newsletter seems to be the most cost effective, it offers numerous creative and useful openings, and production will be traditional and digital. With newsletter we can try co-partnering with community organization and business and furnish them with advertising space in our publication. Also as co-partners they will distribute the newsletter. The more we think of it the more ideas we can note and contribute to the on-going project. Hope to get some feedback from the forum. Thanks.

Which of the four elements (product knowledge, sales skills, people skills, and attitude) do you believe are most critical to the admissions professional? Why do you think these are critical to serving students in an ethical fashion?

I often find it hard to overcome the work and school schedules that conflict or those students that are at a distance and have to plan to visit. I try to sympathize and end up letting them give me a call back to schedule.

I too agree that evaluation is a big part of helping improve the school. We use evaluations from students and faculty. Also we evaluate all of our marketing strategies in order to see which one had the best outcome and to see which one needs to revised or removed. We are currently in the mode of making this school prosper with low enrollment. As long as we continue evaluating our efforts I know that our school will begin to prosper in the right direction.
