Monday Morning Admissions

You're in for a really unique conversation on today's episode of the Monday Morning Admissions Podcast!

A college Athletic Director, who spent years in an admissions office, talks about his doctoral dissertation on how this generation of student, and student-athlete, makes the decision on which college to choose as they go through the college choice process.

You'll learn what the research showed, how to apply it to your admissions department, and why it's critical to have strong relationships on campus between admissions and athletics staff.

As you start communicating with a new class, what does the feedback from incoming students tell us about how, when and what we're supposed to be talking with them?

And, what are the key areas that we need to focus on when it comes to making sure what we talk with them about actually leads to deeper, ongoing conversations?

On this episode, author, speaker and founder of Tudor Collegiate Strategies, Dan Tudor, walks us through the right things to focus on when it comes to our communication with this next class of prospective students.

Once you understand your prospect’s psychology as they enter the college admissions process (like we talked about in our last Monday Morning Admissions episode) and apply it to your process, you’re going to find a much higher rate of yield - and, a more connected prospect that actually wants to communicate with you.

This 30-minute training segment is going to help any college enrollment professional be better at their jobs, and more successful in the quantity and quality of the prospect they bring to campus.

What We Cover in today's episode includes:

- What drives Gen Z decision-making?

- The role of belonging in their decision making

- Their fear of making the wrong choice

- Social proof and peer influence - how does that affect decisions?

- Why students ghost admissions counselors

As we all know, the cost of attendance price on your college or university's website isn't the price most students pay when they become a student and get to campus.

And that lack of clarity is beginning to cause real confusion for an already uncertain class of prospects, and their parents.

So, what can - and should - be done?

Today's podcast guest is Teege Metttille, a former HigherEd enrollment officer at several different campuses over many years, and who currently advises students and parents as they go through the college selection process. This dual experience has given him insights into some of the disconnects colleges and universities have accidentally created between themselves and the audience they hope to serve. On today's show, Dan Tudor talks with Teege Mettille about his observations and ideas that college leaders would be wise to listen to.
