Behind the Curtain of Need Based Financial Aid Session Title A Session Title: 3 Year In... Now What? Moderator: Corinne Logan, College Counselor, Saint Joseph's Preparatory School Presenter(s): Dan Berardi, Assistant Director, Immaculata University, Kelly McGlynn, Assistant Director, Saint Joseph's University, Maggie Holtgreive, Account Manager, Hobsons, , You’ve heard the phrase, “You’re either 3 years or 30 in admissions,” and you’re wondering which camp you will fall in. Or, maybe you’re quickly approaching or have passed year 3 and you’re debating leaving the field. This session highlights four “past-year-three” colleagues and how they found their niche within admissions to make it a career, not just a post-graduation job. All of us debated leaving admissions, but finding a “new job” within admissions made us stay. Find out how we did it, why we stayed, and get some tips on how you can do the same. Audience: College Admissions Counselors, Secondary School Counselors, Community Colleges,Community Based Organizations, Session Title: Behind the Curtain of Need Based Financial Aid Moderator: Greg Edleman, Associate Director of Admission, Carnegie Mellon University Presenter(s): Meg Ryan, Senior Assistant Director of Admission, Carnegie Mellon University, Robert Tallerico; Director of Enrollment and Financial Aid, Penn State Fayete, Marty Elkins. Director of College Guidance, Shady Side Academy, Susan Tree, Director of College Guidance, Westtown School, Not all financial need is the same. Why are financial aid packages so varied when the same application forms are used by the majority of schools? What does it mean when a school uses 'preferential packaging'? Do schools view competing offers from other institutions? If so - how are they used? What does it mean to be 'need blind'? How are merit awards used to close the gap in unmet financial need? This session will take the audience behind the curtain and learn the ways in which colleges use financial, admission, and demographic data in generating need-based financial aid packages that best serves the students' needs - as well as the institutions. Hear from aid/admission representatives talk about their school's strategies and also from secondary college counselors as they provide a road map for navigating the seemingly subjective world of need-based aid. Audience: Deans and Directors, College Admissions Counselors, Secondary School Counselors, Middle Management,Community Based Organizations, Session Title: Bridging the Gap from Admissions to Freshman Year Completion Moderator: Jonathan Squire, Associate Director, Cedar Crest College Presenter(s): Mary Alice Ozechoski Vice President of Student Affairs & Traditional Enrollment, Jonathan Squire, Associate Director, Cedar Crest College, , , This session will outline and provide a model for colleges and universities to be more strategic in moving a student from applicant to matriculated student. We will discuss how one college has shared Admissions information to help inform the work of Student Affairs by partnering with Student Affairs colleagues throughout the Admissions Cycle and into the first weeks of classes. This model enhances relationships with Admissions and Student Affairs and can help retain students. Audience: Deans and Directors, College Admissions Counselors, Middle Management, Session Title: Excelling at Excel Moderator: Justin Ledesma, Senior Assistant Director, Villanova University Presenter(s): Justin Ledesma, Senior Assistant Director, Villanova University, , , , Experts say that learning to use keystrokes, function keys and shortcuts can save you two seconds a minute. That may not seem like a lot, but let's see how this adds up throughout a work year. By not taking advantage of these features in Excel, we lose 16 minutes a day or eight days a year. No matter what role you play in the college admission process, this session will help you get some of that time back. We will overview commonly used function keys, keystrokes, formulas and other Excel tips. Please bring a laptop with MS Excel 2007 or 2010 to this session so you can participate in the exercises. Audience: College Admissions Counselors, Secondary School Counselors, Community Colleges,Middle Management,Community Based Organizations, Session Title: From the Director's Chair: What I Learned in my First Year Moderator: Scott Myers, Director of Admissions, Susquehanna University Presenter(s): Geoff Broome, Director of Admissions, Albright College, Cornell Lesane, Dean of Admissions, Allegheny College Are you at a crossroad in your career and considering becoming a director of admission or director of college counseling?

Their natural instinct is to gravitate online to find the information they are looking for, using social media and digital services for everything from consumer electronics to their college decision … all on devices that can fit in their pocket. In its fourth installment, the report has been refreshed to include how students prefer to utilize mobile devices to connect with schools and perspectives on today’s digital services and popular social networks and how students utilize them at each phase of their college search. Audience: Deans and Directors, College Admissions Counselors, Session Title: The Counselor and the Healer: Update on Admissions to Health Care Programs Moderator: Jayson Hodge, Senior Admissions Officer Presenter(s): Jayson Hodge, Senior Admissions Officer, Niki Kelley-Turner, , , According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, “The health care and social assistance sector is projected to grow at an annual rate of 2.6%, adding 5 million jobs between 2012 and 2022.

  • CLASS of 2012 the One-Year-Out Report ELIZABETHTOWN COLLEGE
    Elizabethtown College Class of 2012 CLASS OF 2012 The One-Year-Out Report ELIZABETHTOWN COLLEGE EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Page 1 Elizabethtown College Class of 2012 Methodology This report includes information on the 376 undergraduate students from the traditional residential program who earned a degree at one of the 2012 conferrals: January, May, and August. Information for this survey was collected from multiple sources. Students provided preliminary information on a survey distributed at commencement rehearsal. They were additionally surveyed electronically approximately one year post-graduation. Additional information was provided by academic departments, the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), and LinkedIn. Through this process, responses were collected from 87% of the 2012 graduates. Outlook for 2012 Graduates According to the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE), the job outlook for 2012 college graduates was cautiously optimistic. Employers anticipated hiring 9-10% more college graduates from the class of 2012 than from the prior class of graduates. Still, the 2012 job market was highly competitive, with roughly 33 applications for every one job opening (CNNMoney ). A survey by Millennial Branding & Experience Inc. (2012, May 14) indicates that employers seek to hire individuals who have good communication skills, a positive attitude, the ability to adapt to changes, skills for effective teamwork, and who are goal oriented. Nationally, the average salary offer to 2012 college grads was expected to be $51,000 (NACE Fall 2011 Salary Survey). Compared with their peers without a college degree, college graduates can expect to accrue roughly one million dollars more in lifetime earnings. As this report shows, the 2012 graduates of Elizabethtown College fared well in the competitive marketplace they faced following graduation.

  • Pittsburgh, PA Previous GTCA City 2013
    Pittsburgh, PA Previous GTCA City 2013 Contact: Tom Piccone ([email protected]); Andy Wang ([email protected]) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ The Church of God in Pittsburgh The Church of God in Pittsburgh was originally established as the Church in Pittsburgh in 1983, primarily through a migration of saints mainly from Ohio. Some years after a turmoil, the Church of God in Pittsburgh was incorporated in 2017. The church does not presently have a meeting hall, but meets on university campuses and in various saints’ homes. Approximately 40 currently gather on Lord’s Day mornings, including four children. The racial composition of the church is 59% Chinese and 16% Caucasian, with the remaining 25% a mix of Korean, Vietnamese, Black, and Indian. The current church life in Pittsburgh focuses primarily on campus work at the University of Pittsburgh (Pitt) and Carnegie Mellon University (CMU), though the need to gain more families is of equal priority (and not necessarily separate). Each year, the Lord adds remaining fruit to His Body through the saints’ labor on the campuses to gain college and graduate students, and sometimes university staff. In the past 12 years of campus work, dozens have been gained, but most have moved away. Only a handful of them have not been Asian. While the saints in Pittsburgh welcome all who would like to move here, we particularly see a need for young American families to migrate to the Pittsburgh area in order to share the burden of shepherding and gaining some from the population of American students and families for the strengthening of His testimony in this locality and region.

  • 2019 BEA Convention
    Welcome As Program Chair, it is with great pleasure that I welcome you to the 2019 BEA Convention. Convention As educators, we draw findings from diverse streams of research to provide students with an understanding of the theoretical approaches to the analysis of media texts and, in turn, to Program Chair’s inform their own production practice. In other words, we strive to teach students not just which production techniques work, but why they work. Be that as it may, prominent industry producers continue to be of the view that media production is self-taught and the role of educators is one Welcome of giving students the confidence and inspiration to succeed. Therefore, if we as educators are to serve as mere beacons of inspiration, what roles do our theoretical teachings serve in the professional practice of electronic media? Does the professional practice of media rely on instinct or on the acquisition of specialized skills and knowledge? The BEA2019 Convention Spotlight, Education and Industry: Mediating the Nexus, explores the issues posed by these questions. To that end, we have an exciting line up of presentations and workshops that aim to increase the dialogue between scholars and practitioners in order to aid the former to build new and expand existing industry relationships; to develop curricula in such a way that the insights gained from theory feed into practice, and vice versa; and to identify research gaps and foster collaborative research projects with industry partners. On the academic side, the Research Symposium examines the issue of what it means to be media literate.

  • Elizabethtown College
    ! Elizabethtown College Founded in 1899, in Central Pennsylvania, Elizabethtown College has 1,800 undergraduates as well as small graduate programs in Occupational Therapy, Peace Education, Special Education and Public Policy. Located in a region with several liberal arts colleges as well as one of the largest state universities in the US (Penn State-University Park), Elizabethtown has signature programs in Communications, Education, Engineering, Music Therapy and Occupational Therapy. Overall, the college offers more than 50 majors and over 80 minors. While the college is cross shopped against other liberal arts colleges, it also considered against other Pennsylvania schools that offer these degree programs. Approximately two thirds of the students come from Pennsylvania, although the college also draws well from neighboring states: New Jersey, New York and Maryland. Elizabethtown was founded as one of the Colleges of the Brethren along with Bridgewater College (VA) Juniata College (PA), McPherson College (KS), Manchester University (IN) and the University of La Verne (CA). But it markets itself as a secular institution. While Elizabethtown is considered a Regional University—the majority of degrees are not in the traditional liberal arts subjects—it has the look and feel of a small college. There is really no similar school within Pennsylvania in terms of academic mix, though Misericordia University, located near Scranton, comes quite close. Elizabethtown is not an exceptionally selective college. The school accepted just over 70 percent of the students who applied to join the Class of 2014. About a quarter of the accepted applicants decided to come. Admissions are rolling. A decision can be made within two weeks after all materials are in.
