GMAC, or the Graduate Management Admissions Council, will hold its Annual Industry Conference in Philadelphia next month, and we’re pleased to announce that Clear Admit has been tapped to offer insight to attending MBA admissions officers for a second consecutive year!
Clear Admit co-founder Graham Richmond will be moderating and participating in a panel titled “Social Networking: Meeting Students Where They Live.” Along with educational researcher Stephanie Geyer and Angela Dimit, who works in Development and Alumni Relations for the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, he’ll lend insight into where MBA applicants, students and alumni gather online, and will lead an exploration of available technologies and the ways schools can harness them to build community among past, present and prospective students.
Beyond this particular panel, a glimpse at this year’s Concurrent Session Schedule provides an interesting perspective on the subjects that are of most interest to MBA admissions officers at the moment. Topics range from applicant-focused subjects, like strategies for reaching Hispanic and African American applicants and managing student expectations with regard to rising costs tuitions, to internal issues such as promoting harmony and collaboration between a school’s admissions and financial aid offices, and handling the implications of admitting students with little to no work experience.
Stay tuned for a recap of the panel, and any other news from the mid-June event.
