Inn at Villanova – Sessions from our Sponsors Session 1 Title: Are Your Students prepared for the classroom? Description: Conversations with programs reveal a concern with student preparedness, especially with students that have been out of the classroom for a significant amount of time or are seeking a career change. Join this session to explore the topic of student preparedness through the lens of both programs and students. Learn about solutions currently used by your peers and Business Fundamentals, a new solution that GMAC has created with Kaplan to aid students as they ready themselves for the rigors of the MBA classroom. Inn at Villanova – Room 115 Presenter: Ana Kyper, Senior Director of GME Prep and Readiness at GMAC Session 2 Title: How Today’s Prospective GME Students Choose – Informing Areas of Focus for Business Schools to Improve Enrollment Results Presenters: Steve Shriberg, AVP, Consulting Services, Eduvantis Emily McMahon, AVP, Marketing Services, Eduvantis Session Description: While each program and each start date has its own story to tell, there are general trends that we are seeing in today’s marketplace that inform why GME students make the choices they do. While having programs that are relevant, differentiating and authentic is critical – even that isn’t always enough. In this session, we are going to examine the various moments in a prospective student’s journey down a recruitment funnel, and highlight what we see as the ways to get - and keep - them pointed in your direction. From capturing their initial attention via marketing (what words in ads seem to resonate?), to piquing their interest to learn more (what do they think they want to buy?) to getting them to choose you (ultimately, what are the must-haves in today’s programs?), we will provide insights that you can take back to campus and activate immediately. Additionally, we will utilize data obtained in our pre-conference survey of deans to understand how relevant, differentiating and authentic you believe your programs truly are in today’s environment, as well as where you most see room for improvement as you seek enrollment growth.
