Admissions Marketing Challenges

In today’s world, how we market ourselves to prospective students can make or break the enrollment goals of an institution. Navigating between all the different forms of media further adds to the challenge. This Collective Gathering is an open discussion for members to share challenges that they are facing in their marketing strategy to prospective students. Attendees will be encouraged to ask questions and share their own ideas with their peers.
