Graduate Implementations: Your GPS (Graduate Programs Strategy) Navigation for your Implementation Journey
Graduate programs present a unique set of challenges, so we’re mapping your route to a successful implementation. We’ll steer you through conceptualizing an improved, sustainable process in preparation for building your new instance. We’ll then identify potential roadblocks and unique solutions for recruitment, deadline management, reader, permissions, and faculty/stakeholder management. Join Carnegie Senior Slate Strategist Laura Bald and our friends from Ball State University and Massachusetts Institute of Technology for a 45-minute webinar where you’ll learn the rules of the road: tips, tricks, and recommendations to reach your destination.
