Session 1

Outliers: How Some Schools Grew [Panel Discussion]

Wednesday, September 29th 1:00 pm EST / 10:00 am PST

You know the story. The pandemic drove record application volumes at schools that already had plenty, while countless others floundered. Yet, some schools outside the top 25 posted strong or even record enrollments. In this session, Jeff Kallay will interview top enrollment leaders from Transylvania University and Lynn University--two schools that posted record enrollments this past year--to understand the strategies that made the difference and drove remarkable results.

Session 2

Back to Campus Visit (But Not Like Before)

Wednesday, October 6th 1:00 pm EST / 10:00 am PST

In March 2020, the dominos began falling and the rush to stage visits virtually, online and remotely began. Then "Zoom fatigue" set in. Now, prospective families are rushing back to campus and your pre-pandemic campus visit won't cut it anymore. In this session, higher ed's leading campus visit expert Jeff Kallay will talk with Mae Watters, Assistant Director of Admission at Sewanee: The University of the South, about how to build a singular campus visit that blends the best of on-screen and on-campus visit experiences.
