As many of you know, ACPA (our parent organization) will be holding its annual convention at the Baltimore Convention Center from March 27-March 30. This is a great opportunity to meet and network with other student affairs professionals throughout the country and attend numerous educational sessions that will enhance your professional knowledge and resources.
Since the convention is in Baltimore, we hope to see many Maryland professionals through socials, sessions and random gatherings in hallways!
In order to support those professionals who are presenting from our state, we would like to gather all of your presentation information. Simly post a comment and tell us who you are, where you are from, the title of your presentation, a brief blurb and the date/time/location of the session.
See you in Baltimore!
I am excited for my presentation at ACPA!

Empowering Student Leaders to BE MORE: Admissions Lessons through Assessment
Monday, March 28th from 4:30-5:30pm in Hilton Baltimore- Key 2
In admissions, student leaders are essential to the recruitment process. Prospective families want to learn the insider secrets from genuine, current students. Through audience participation, this session will 1) examine the different approaches used to recognize student tour-guides, 2) demonstrate how one institution assesses its program, and 3) how assessment coupled with strong mission-focused student development theory can improve the overall experience for your students so that they will be more influential during the recruitment process.
I will also be presenting with Michael Post, Dean of Admissions and Enrollment Management at the Mount.

This roundtable discussion will provide participants with the opportunity to ask questions, share ideas, and collaborate on what has or has not worked well when it comes to implementing these tools at their institution. Join these presenters as they facilitate a conversation based on up-to-date research and practical knowledge.
