The Admissions Directors Lunchcast

About The Admissions Directors Lunchcast

Our proposal: the most productive lunch meeting you'll take all week. Each episode, Nathan and Teege will discuss an issue directly related to college admission. We don't have all the answers, so we'll bring in two guests each time - one influencer and one practitioner. By the end of the episode, our hope is that you'll have an idea or a tactic that you can implement in your office, perhaps as early as the afternoon.

Is that what you're saying versus like some other schools or other students you've worked at maybe with other schools, they, they've been on a bunch of visits, so they're really getting nitpicky about the student ambassadors. Yeah, that's very well put. Um, yeah, I, I would say that. Um, Thinking about this too, even more, I think oftentimes I've seen my current students, they really reflect back on like their connection with the admissions officer, to be honest, and whether or not like my student can see their family partnering well with the university on topics regarding like language, cultural differences, or just like, you know, the on those themes, you know?
