Activity

More information isn’t always a good thing. Gather information so that you can tailor your presentation and talking points on tour. If you talk too much, you may lose them or bore them. We use student tour guides mostly, which changes the flow and perspective. I will emphasize the need to ask questions and customize. 

We all want human connection. As admissions professionals, we are experts on the program we are selling- it’s easy to get lost in the information overload. Prospective students want to see themselves on campus and meet someone relatable! No better way to start the process than with Admissions. 

Discussion Comment
Our campus developed a comprehensive training manual a few years ago for new admissions representatives. Each employee receives copies/examples of pertinent forms and documents. It reminded me of the Resource Notebook concept. Our challenge is to keep it updated with present day processes and procedures. Participating in this module reminds me of how important this kind of resource is.
