National Association of Graduate Admissions Professionals 2009 Conference, New York
Kathy Hua-Di, Recruitment Coordinator for the University of Southern California School of Social Work, and I will be presenting on Thursday (4/23) at the National Association of Graduate Admissions Professionals (NAGAP) annual conference in New York. If you won’t be there in person, read on to find out how you can make an appearance also, via web chat!
At our session, Technology 101: Recruiting Millennials Using Web Chat, we’ll be discussing how and why to use Web Chat to recruit millennials.
The generation of students entering college this year have never known a world without the Internet. Graduate schools that don’t communicate using newer technologies run the risk of missing out on some of today’s top students.
Fortunately, you don’t have to be tech-savvy to reach Millennials, or Generation Y. Web-based chat is an example of how new Internet technologies can be adopted at a low cost and with little training. Kathy Hua-Di will provide an overview of the electronic communication tools that are natural for this year’s incoming freshman and suggests ways that these tools can become an integral part of the admissions process based on her experience using Web Chat at the University of Southern California’s School of Social Work.
I’ll be providing a demo, and discussing some research findings about how recruitment professionals are using webchat, who they are inviting to chats, and who is participating in web chats.
If you won’t be able to attend, but would like to make an appearance at the conference, join the following web chat room at the specified time and date, and you’ll be able to participate in a live web chat during our conference session! If you plan to participate, please send me an email, so I can acknowledge you in the Web Chat during the session.
