Jennifer, Correct, it should be in the forefront. Being honest is probably one of the more important things when speaking to a student. Everything we tell the student is important, but if we aren't being honest, then it's useless information. Kathie Dherit

Testimonials

Jeri-Lyn, Peer pressure is a good reason for not using testimonials. Your statement of students sticking together is true and it could bring down the whole bunch. Kathie Dherit

Inducements and Referrals

Mark, Yes, they will want to "show" off the school by inviting them to Open Houses, and bring a friend day, so special inducements are not necessary. Kathie Dherit

Transparency and Trust

Ann, Great answer! Respect for the individual and trust go hand in hand. If someone lies about something, you are right, the respect for that persona has gone out the window. How do you know if you can trust someone that lies or omits information. It would take a long time to build that trust again. Kathie Dherit

The Consequences

William, You're right. The risk of doing the wrong thing is not worth it. Tarnishing our reputation in the community where we get our students and where we place our students to work is definitely not worth it! Kathie Dherit

Presenting Information About Your School

Tammy, Just because you heard someone say something about the school or a program, doesn't necessarily mean it's true or a fact. When giving information about the school or programs you want to make sure you have all of your facts straight. If you didn't see it in writing or documented, then more than likely it might not be true. Kathie Dherit

Is Compliance an Action or a Result?

Maria, Just like the Golden Rule, do unto others as they would do unto you. If you want other people to be honest with you, then you must be honest to them. Kathie Dherit

Mission, Values and Empowerment

Michelle, If you are passionate about something it will come across when you speak about it. Teaching or admissions shouldn't really be that different like you said. If you are passionate when you teach and teach people what you know, or if you are in admissions and you "sell" what you are passionate about - there is no difference, because you are passionate.
