Callas takes SUNY Cobleskill
on international mission...
|
|
|
This past fall I was
approached by a former High school teacher about applying for a vocational
exchange through Rotary International called Group Study Exchange (GSE). As
a SUNY Cobleskill Senior Admissions Counselor I will be taking a trip of a
lifetime with Rotary International's GSE program when it heads to Greece
for six weeks.
I am one of five people chosen to represent the 7190 Rotary Region; I was
nominated by two of my former teachers from Elmira Free Academy, Dean and
Mary Ellen Morgan. Though I am not a Rotarian, I was still able to apply
and interview to go on the trip as long as I was sponsored by a local
Rotary. The Penn Yann Dundee Rotary on Keuka Lake sponsored me and helped
to get my application through at the eleventh hour. more...

The hidden benefits of SUNYCAP...

As the year continues and
we approach another SUNYCAP conference, I'm reminded of the many faces of
colleagues I'll be able to see after another year of recruiting. The
conference is truly the only opportunity throughout the year that many of
us have to see colleagues that aren't a part of our territory or located in
our region.
As a member of the SUNYCAP Board and Conference Committee, we get to work
behind the scenes in a variety of ways during the months leading up to our
conference with colleagues from different campuses. When I began serving on
the SUNYCAP Board in 2005, I knew SUNYCAP provided opportunities for
professional growth and development but I had no idea that I would be able
to help out in so many different ways. As a counselor at a community
college, my recruitment territory is exclusive to the surrounding counties.
As such... more...

How do you treat your visitors...?
|

Admissions Counselor

Ever wondered how other campuses run their open houses,
interviews or daily visits? How do they do it and what kind of money do
they have to work with? How do we, as individual campuses, deal with
'hosptiality' when it comes to our visitors? Do we feed them? Meet with
them one-on-one? Give them pens or pencils...bumper stickers or window
clings? Do we spend thousands of dollars on visitors...or not a dime?
Well, I know what we do here at Fredonia, and you know what you do on your
campus...but if you take
the survey and share with us what how your campus deals with visitors,
we'll compiled the results and share with everyone in the next edition. Who
knows...it might even help make your job easier.
Of course, we will need more than three of you out there to actually
complete the survey...I say this only HALF sarcastically...as there were
only four people to complete the last Endeavors "recycling"
survey.
Take the survey today and start sharing.

Results of 'annoying' listserve question ;^)
|
|
Just in case anyone was
curious...the answer to the question, "just who uses the title
'admissions counselor' (and what are the alternative titles being
used...)" -- is...
About 42-percent of our SUNY campuses replied...and it turns out nearly
60-percent of respondents indicated their campus uses the "Admissions
Counselor" title. "Admissions Assistant" is the next most
frequently used title, at nearly 30-percent. Other titles used include
"Admissions Representative" (2-percent), and Recruitment
Specialist (1-percent).

The 'Power of 64'...
|
|
Tom Nesbitt
Potsdam
SUNYCAP President
|
As I enter the homestretch on my second term as
President of SUNYCAP it occurs to me that The State University of New York
is a very different system than the one I began working for in 1994. In
those 14 years our membership is responsible for handling the day to day
responsibilities that have led to unparalleled growth, impressive increases
in quality and repositioning SUNY as a first choice among traditional
students.
The "Power of 64" has never been more evident, more recognized,
more revered. A simple trip to a college fair is all that one needs to see
that the strength in numbers philosophy of the quotation above is alive and
well as we, admissions professionals, work together to bestow the virtues
of our own offerings while also letting families know of other SUNY schools
who may be able to assist. more...

SUNYCAP is happy to announce that the 2007-2008 membership

Voting this year will also take place online, a first for SUNYCAP.
Nominations and Elections Committee members Pat Mente and Josh Gregory have
been putting the finishing touches on the electronic ballots. Six positions
are up for grabs, so keep an eye on your inboxes. Voting begins later this
month.
Also of note, in just under two weeks time, the Awards Committee will
select recipients to be recognized at the conference in June. If you know
someone who is deserving of recognition for a job well done, who has gone
above and beyond, or who took a project on that made life in the office
easier...nominate them for an award by completing the nomination
form . The deadline is May 27th, so make sure you act now. If you have
questions about the process, drop me a line.
