Presenter: Dr. Riley Westmoreland, AVP for Enrollment Operations, Samford University
Admission work has always been taxing. But in today's climate of declining trust in higher education, changing demographics, and shifting federal policy, the job is tougher than ever. This session will discuss the findings of a recent study on the factors related to admission counselor turnover at Christian colleges and universities. These results from more than 80 institutions will explain trends in our industry and will help you make sense of what is happening on your campus. Why are staff leaving? What could encourage them to stay? How much does a busy travel season contribute to stress? Is burnout a problem? How can we identify staff who might be inclined to resign? And how should we hire, train, and support staff to increase longevity? This session will provide data-informed insights to answer these questions and will offer practical steps we can take to care for ourselves and our teams.
Facilitator: Dr. Molly Smith, Vice President of External Engagement, NACCAP
