Knowing who's who
Its very important for the admissions representative to know how each department is there to help and support their students. Knowing what each department does will allow you to know where you can go to for certain questions.
Kenneth,
Agreed! In finding the right connection and making sure that they feel welcome and at home.

Most critical to let the applicant connect with the overall institution.
Kasandra,
Exactly! They are our customers and we value them for not only their future but the future of the school as well.

It's equally as important to know your students. At our school - if a staff member doesn't know the name of a student they're not able to continue with their questions (etc) until they learn the name of the student. We value our students and recognize that without them, we wouldn't have jobs.
Brittany,
It takes an entire school to create a graduate. Every step of their student experience is assisted by a staff member.
