Faculty can be some of the most powerful allies (or unexpected challenges) in student recruitment. This week we explore how to move from “favors” to real partnerships with academic departments, and what makes faculty involvement meaningful for students.

Our guests bring both the high school and college perspectives:

• Amanda Chapman, Director of College Counseling at The Whitfield School (MO) and President-Elect of Missouri ACAC

• Christine Grotzke, Senior Associate Director of Admissions at Michigan Technological University (MI) and President of Illinois ACAC

Together, they share how faculty shape student impressions, how to build stronger collaborations, and where admissions leaders can start.
