Engaging students' parents effectively is just as vital as engaging the students themselves. According to a 2024 survey by Ruffalo Noel Levitz and CampusESP, encompassing over 11,000 families, 94% of parents value direct communication from colleges during the admissions process. This underscores the necessity for institutions to prioritize parent engagement as a strategic component of student recruitment.
This is an open discussion for AACRAO members to allow enrollment professionals to share and explore effective strategies for engaging parents throughout the recruitment journey. Our April AACRAO Collective Gathering features a collaborative opportunity to learn and share with colleagues about best practices.
Advanced registration is required to receive a Zoom link to attend.
