Resources for Optimal Search

As part of ongoing work to expand access to higher education, the College Board invites you to a webinar specifically for community college representatives to provide updates on tools and resources to serve you and your students, featuring: Annual Survey of Colleges – hear more about the process for completing our annual survey to ensure your campus has a free profile on BigFuture, our free college planning website that has millions of unique visitors each year. College Board Search – learn about recruitment opportunities (including a no-cost file of 2021 graduates available for 2-year campuses this spring) to make sure you are reaching a strong pool of students in your service region.

As the Class of 2021 takes shape and the light at the end of the tunnel for the pandemic comes into view, campus leaders must shift back to long term planning in a new normal. The past year has permanently altered the higher education landscape and accelerated demographic changes on the horizon. In this session, we discuss recent projections across the country and potential impact to your markets. Hear updates about the College Board's response to helping you adapt to the changing student pool and adjustments you can make to Search practices to make sure you are reaching a robust pipeline for 2022 and beyond. Guest speakers for this session include: Jason Black, Assistant Vice President for Enrollment Management & Dean of Admissions, Samford University Jennifer Griffin, Associate Director of Marketing & Events Undergraduate Admissions, University of Connecticut

Starting this fall, all Search customers will have access to our IMC feature. In this session, we explore stories from institutions that have successfully used IMC to identify students in Search who are specifically interested in their campuses. This webinar is the first in a series of sessions regarding the enhanced features coming to College Board Search. Institutions featured in this session include: Cleveland State University Cornerstone University North Carolina A&T State University Texas Christian University

Searching for Students has evolved and your practices need to reflect those changes. Join us for a break from your typical webinar where we’ll be using audience polls to assist with sharing critical details of student participation in Search. We’ll be sharing tactics to help you find the students you need to meet your enrollment goals in the upcoming Admission Cycle.

This webinar examines data from students who took the PSAT/NMSQT in January 2021 as part of our special winter administration offered to schools that were closed in October due to the Covid-19 pandemic. This data load will add significant additional Search volume to the classes of 2022 and 2023. We discuss ordering logistics, total vs. new volume, breakdowns by state/region, cohort, score band, etc. and make recommendations to prevent you from missing qualified students who fit your criteria.

This webinar features guest speaker Erik Johnson of the Oregon Institute of Technology, who has facilitated historic growth at his institution. Erik discusses his strategy to capture every student as soon as they become available in Search and then leverages Slate to run targeted Search campaigns. This session is a good fit for Slate users running Search campaigns in-house and looking to take Search strategy from good to great.

An introduction to key principles and tactics to make the most of College Board Search. You'll learn about College Board Search, how student data flows into Search, and how to optimize your use of this tool to meet your goals.
