Exploring the students "why".
In the module "Exploring the Prospective Student's Environment," participants likely learned about the importance of understanding the context in which prospective students make enrollment decisions. This involves examining various factors, such as the student's background, motivations, challenges, and goals. By exploring the prospective student's environment, admissions professionals can tailor their approach, provide relevant information, and address individual needs ethically. This practice aims to create a more personalized and supportive enrollment experience, fostering a positive relationship between the institution and the student.
Asking both open-ended and closed-ended questions in the right manner can help me find out more information about my prospective student. Avoid using the word why though, because it can feel accusatory.

"Exploring the Prospective Student's Environment" was thought provoking. This is a very important component of/in a prospective students enrollment process. My "takeaway" was obviously the importance on listening, delving deeper, finding the "Why", obstacles, strengths, support all of that! A "blueprint" to selling yourself with ethics, integrity and trustworthiness. "Why" they should "buy" into YOU(Rep.).
It is imperative to be aware and to listen to the background, culture, and economical experiences of our students so that we can be sensitive and in tuned with challenges that they may face and concerns that may occur because of their current situation.
