If this topic catches you off guard - you're not alone. We'll bring it all together as we work through how understanding the executive functioning and development of high school students can improve your recruitment efforts. Then, we'll dig a bit deeper and discuss the levels of executive functioning with admissions counselors and even Deans and Directors. The key takeaway: we could all benefit from ongoing training and attention in this area.
Joining us this week are two folks who have been spending a lot of time thinking about this topic.
Shannon Donaldson, Assistant Director of College Counseling at the Academy of the Holy Cross in Kensington, Maryland has been watching how high school students are growing in this area, and specifically how the pandemic has impacted them. Then, we ask her to help us understand how admissions counselors are performing out on the road when their Directors and VPs are back in the office.
Asia Wong, Director of Counseling at Loyola University New Orleans, in New Orleans, Louisiana has been working with students after they arrive on a college campus. She'll help us connect the recruiting work we're doing with the student success work happening on a college campus.
It's all about executive functioning with a college admissions twist this week.
