Community Conversations: Graduate and Professional Admissions

This session will focus on themes that are central to the work of different types of graduate and professional admissions offices pre-pandemic, during the pandemic as well as post-pandemic. Expect to talk about operations topics such as centralized versus decentralized admissions and engaging with faculty and staff as well as process challenges like recruiting underrepresented students and the transition to online degree programs that had begun, but is so central now as a result of the pandemic. Please share your ideas for topics to discuss when you register!

Panelists include:

Christopher Rios. PhD, Associate Dean
Baylor University Graduate School

Jose Villa, Director of Admissions
Columbia School of Nursing
