A prime-time PBS television show brought for-profit higher education into American living rooms.  Its brands, business practices and several personalities were on view.  Here are some informative and entertaining excerpts.   

The American Assn of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers held their annual conference in New Orleans in April.  Some 2,200 members attended.  They had much to hear and much to learn.  Here's a goodly sample. 

These snippets from the last National Association for College Admission Counseling conference caught our readers' attention in October 2009.  With fall admissions completed, everyone's attention turned to effective strategy and tactics for an upcoming year of expected high unemployment and dampened prosperity.   

The 600 people who attended this conference and the sessions designed for them illustrate how difficult a job enrollment management is.  It takes commitment and support from the campus executive suite.  It takes hard work.  And it takes talent.  Listen in on what the talent heard and said in Dallas in November 2009.
