Radical Hospitality: Transforming Student Recruitment in Higher Education

The admissions process can get stuck in an endless loop of application deadlines, essays, and transcripts.

By investing in “radical hospitality” and focusing on relationship-building with students, admissions teams can discover the clearest path possible.

Acting intentionally to show students they matter is key to unlocking their true career path.

Hopping on the podcast today is John McGreal, the Dean of Enrollment at Waukesha County Technical College. John knows the marathon of the admissions process and emphasizes pacing yourself because it’s not a sprint.

In this episode, we explore different ways to enhance your admissions process.
