The National Association for College Admission Counseling (NACAC), association of more than 14,000 counseling and admissions professionals serving students as they make choices about pursuing postsecondary education, will be hosting a free webinar on international undergraduate student recruitment and retention. This webinar is part of the Executive Virtual Forums series in collaboration with EducationUSA.
I will be co-presenting with following experienced professionals:
-
Chunsheng Zhang, Senior Vice Provost for International Affairs, Office of International Affairs, University of North Alabama
-
Ed Bustos, Director of International Admission, Rollins College
Date: Thursday, April 2, 2015 Time: 2:00 p.m. EDT/11:00 a.m. PDT
Research demonstrates that undergraduate international student retention is related to the expectations international students develop during recruitment. Admissions officers play a critical role in what information is conveyed to students about the university/college experience, thus setting these expectations. Once on campus, international students compare their expectations with the reality of their situation. As such, admissions officers also have a role to play in how the campus-wide community is meeting the needs of this student population.
Participants will:
-
Be exposed to research that illustrates how retention begins with recruitment
-
Understand how to strengthen retention efforts at the recruitment stage through identifying best-fit students for your institution
-
Gain examples of good practices for improving the experiences of international students on your campus.
