March means something big in higher education: March Madness! In this episode of The Anchor Exchange, we explore how big athletic moments can shape college admissions. Kiara talks with Dale Bittinger from University of Maryland Baltimore County about the impact of the 2018 NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Tournament and how moments like that influence student interest, campus culture, and admissions. Later, Janssen is joined by Roger Burke from James Madison University and Michael Nixon from University of Maryland College Park to continue the conversation. Our Shifting Currents segment highlights how admissions teams can better use junior-focused programming in their recruitment strategies.
