Enhancing Admissions: The Role of Admissions Counselor Morale in Higher Education

Teege Mettille, Director of Enrollment Success at enroll ml, is joining me today to talk about the crucial topic of college admissions. Teege shares his personal journey from being a first-generation college student to a thought leader in admissions, emphasizing the transformative impact of higher education. The conversation explores his book, 'The Admissions Counselor Malaise,' which delves into the challenges facing admission staff morale, especially post-pandemic. Key issues include the corporatization of academia, the increasing application volumes, and the often-overlooked emotional toll on admissions counselors. Teege also discusses how AI and innovative technologies can alleviate these pressures by making the admissions process more efficient and targeted. 

What you will learn:

● Why the FAFSA isn’t a big indicator of enrollment.

● How the college admissions ecosystem is changing.

● Admissions counselors don’t need to be sales reps.

● Ways to bring joy back into the job of counseling students.

Thanks for listening!
