In the olden days, we just mailed an admit letter to a student. Then we upgraded to "the big envelope." Then, admit boxes, with balloons and gifts. Then, digital portals. Then, digital confetti.
Where on that spectrum does an in-person application and admission decision fit? We're joined by two great professionals to discuss just that topic. Crys Latham is the Founding Director of College Counseling at Washington Latin Charter School in Washington, DC. and Board Chair of Colleges that Change Lives. Sanjay Mitchell is Director of College and Alumni Programs at Thurgood Marshall Academy Public Charter High School in Washington, DC. They both discuss the onsite admissions programs they put together as school counselors, how they work with colleges and students for these events, and touch back to their time on the college side of the desk to consider the effectiveness of these programs.
If you're not doing onsite admissions, this is episode is for you.
