Speaker Spotlight  "Faculty members are at the core of all we do in higher education. Savvy students know this, want to meet them, and want to know them. The best and brightest students will base their college choice decision on who will be teaching them in the classroom." ~ Dr. Jennifer Layton McCluskey Webinar Presenter Free Resources Rutgers University - Faculty Role in Undergraduate Admission  Faculty Role in Student Success: Engagement In and Outside the Classroom  Faculty Involvement in Graduate Student Recruitment  Best practices for departmental/faculty involvement in student recruitment  Faculty Involvement and Accountability in the Admissions Process  Faculty Do Matter: The Role of College Faculty in Student Learning and Engagement  Webinar Description With increased competition for the best and brightest students, faculty have become instrumental in student recruitment efforts. Furthermore, research shows that a meaningful relationship with a faculty member can make the difference in a student deciding to stay at an institution or leave an institution. Admissions and enrollment professionals are experts at the top of the funnel when students are expressing interest in an institution, but faculty involvement can be crucial when a student is deciding between one place and another. Students want to know who will be teaching them and the faculty are the experts in the academic fields.
