Understanding Your Institution
To effectively complete our role in admissions understanding our Institutions organizational and operational structure is truly key to our success. The organisation's culture will definitely drive our need to to be aware of policies and procedures.
It is true to say that as an admissions personnel we are constantly driven to know our products in order to be frontline ambassadors for our institution.
I endorse the importance to know our programs as our job is about disseminating information to future students.
Knowledge is power.
GETA,
Your term frontline ambassadors is very telling in itself. We are the frontline of the institution and we are the ambassadors that our students face.

Geta,
I agree whole heartedly with your assertion of the importance of knowing and understanding our institutions organizational and operational structure.
I would say our job as agents of the organization is to find those students who could be profit well from the education provided and extend all reasonable encouragement for them to take advantage of the opportunity, if they are interested. An accurate knowledge of our institution is essential if we are to be able to recognize a good match with a prospective student when we meet them.
