Innovators Talk:

The College Admissions Ecosystem

featuring journalist and New York Times best selling author Jeff Selingo

National headlines tell two very different stories about the 2021 admission cycle. Overall, college enrollment is expected to decrease and hundreds of schools are still in search of applicants past the traditional May 1 decision deadline. And yet, top-ranked schools saw the number of applications dramatically increase with acceptance rates hitting record lows. What should we make of such a dramatic difference? What does the future hold for admissions? What role does clear demonstration of ROI play in recruiting students?   

Join us Thursday, June 3rd at 10am PT (1pm ET) for this insightful and wide-ranging discussion.

Registration is free. We’ll also be giving away copies of Jeff’s book during the session.

For more than twenty years, Jeff has provided insight and practical advice to  students, parents, educators, and academic leaders about the inner workings of colleges and universities and what’s next for higher education.  His most recent book Who Gets In & Why: A Year Inside College Admissions takes readers inside the inner workings of college admissions and reveals hat really matters in the selection process. In addition to college admissions, his reporting and research focuses on the future of work and its impact on lifelong learning, paying for college, the financial sustainability of traditional higher education, and what employers and the public increasingly want in a college degree.
