Managing Change in Graduate Enrollment Management: Navigating Uncharted Territory Dear Colleague, Get ready to join us in the Golden State for the NAGAP 27th Annual Conference! The Conference Planning Committee has been working tirelessly to create a program that is intellectually stimulating and professionally relevant, with an abundance of networking opportunities and a little time to relax and refresh. You’ll find all this and more in one great location – the Manchester Grand Hyatt in sunny San Diego! The Manchester Grand Hyatt includes a spa, tennis/sports courts, on-site restaurants and many retail opportunities nearby in the Seaport Village and The Headquarters at Seaport District. Again this year, the Professional Development Committee has planned a Pre-Conference Institute (PCI), which is a half-day program on April 30, 2014, at the Manchester Grand Hyatt. Featuring a presentation on the various legal issues that can arise within graduate enrollment management, the PCI is an intensive program structured to allow participants to delve deeply into this important topic. The conference will kick off with the Welcome Reception in the Exhibit Hall on Wednesday evening. This reception is a great way to network with colleagues and meet exhibitors while enjoying delicious food and drinks. We hope you will make your travel plans accordingly to be able to join us. On Thursday, we are fortunate to have Dr. Mark DeVolder, renowned change expert and author, as our keynote speaker. Dr. DeVolder will share his thoughts on how to adapt to extreme change. Thursday evening’s off-site event will take us to the USS Midway, where we will celebrate the rich military heritage of the region with tours of the ship and entertainment. Joining us Saturday morning for the closing brunch speaker, Dr. Debra Noumair, Professor of Psychology and Education at the Teachers College, Columbia University, who will provide great take-aways for dealing with individual and organizational change. We remain committed to making the educational offerings current and relevant so they meet our membership’s diverse needs and interests. This year our conference has been constructed around the theme of “Managing Change in Graduate Enrollment Management: Navigating Uncharted Territory.” Our educational sessions span adapting to 21st century learners and marketplace; admissions and enrollment; career, staff and personal development; compliance, legal and ethical issues; globalization; graduate student funding and financial aid; marketing and enrollment management; student life cycle in a GEM model, as well as managing change. From graduate admissions professionals to educational administrators, enrollment management decision-makers, student affairs professionals and beyond, this conference is designed to meet your needs. All are encouraged to attend! We all work diligently and are committed to our fields. This conference is a chance to step back, connect with colleagues and remind ourselves why we do this important work. On behalf of the Conference Planning Committee, I invite you to join us in San Diego. You deserve to be celebrated. See you there!

PRE-CONFERENCE INSTITUTE Avoiding Liability & Legal Pitfalls While Managing Change in Graduate Enrollment Management Presenter: Joan Van Tol, General Counsel, Law School Admission Council (LSAC) The goal of this Pre-Conference Institute is to help you identify and avoid some of the legal pitfalls associated with managing change in graduate enrollment management. This session will focus on legal issues related to applications for admission and recruiting activities; social media in enrollment management; background checks, including criminal history and credit checks; applicants with disabilities; race conscious admission and recruiting practices; records management and FERPA; and other issues participants wish to raise. For additional information and updates, please visit the NAGAP website at: www.nagap.org.
Apply for a Pre-Conference Institute Fellowship NAGAP encourages its members to apply for a Pre-Conference Institute fellowship, which is a great way to stretch professional development dollars during a time of increasing financial challenges. Two fellowships are available for NAGAP members. Each fellowship covers the Pre-Conference Institute registration fee. To apply for a fellowship, email your name, title, institution, contact information (including address, phone, fax and email) and a 250word essay saved as a Microsoft Word document to Kathryn Kendall, Assistant Dean for Admissions and Recruitment, State University of New York at Buffalo, at kkendall@buffalo.edu.

The essay should address how you think the Pre-Conference Institute would assist you in your professional development and how your participation would help you to avoid liability and legal pitfalls while managing change in graduate enrollment management.

Enhanced Education Sessions
Community Service Project
In an effort to meet individual learning styles and provide enhanced networking opportunities, NAGAP is again offering various format options for educational session offerings for the 27th Annual Conference. Please view the session topics on pages 6-10 for a list of the sessions we expect to offer. Each session indicates the category topic and presentation format. Engage with Panelists. Panels consist of three to four participants and a moderator. These professionals, from across the country and around the world, discuss the topic at hand and bring perspectives informed by their expertise and related experience. Discover and learn from Presentations. These are educational sessions in which the presenter(s) shares information with a theater-style audience. Presenters integrate media (e.g., PowerPoint, video clips, links to websites) and engages the audience throughout the course of the session. Presentations are structured to allow time for audience participation, take-home messages and questions and answers. Participate in a Special Interest Forum. The Special Interest Forum (SIF), led by a facilitator, is a roundtable discussion during which attendees may discuss a specific topic of interest in a small group setting. This format maximizes the opportunity for open dialogue among conference attendees, as participants share their experiences and thoughts. Learn what various companies are doing and can offer the field of graduate enrollment management in a Vendor Presentation. Participants receive in-depth details on specific products or services that they may be considering using in their daily work. Vendors share how a product or service works and how it may address specific needs of session participants.
NAGAP Resource Center NAGAP will once again offer an area exclusively for networking. The time between sessions will be approximately 15 minutes to facilitate communication. We are asking each conference attendee to bring a supply (approximately 25) of the best promotional materials their respective schools use to share with other attendees. These materials will be available in the networking area. If you are looking for additional resources, this is the place to look for extra materials you want to take home with you. This area will also feature a job and message board for posting open positions at your institution, looking for jobs or to leave messages for colleagues.

THE NEED
After working with gang members for five years, Reality Changers Founder, Christopher Yanov, felt that it was just not right that most inner-city teenagers today know more people who have been shot or killed in the street than people who are on the road to college.
THE SOLUTION
As a response, Reality Changers began in May 2001 with four eighth grade students near downtown San Diego with the hope of building first generation college students. Starting with just $300, Reality Changers has now given more scholarship awards to college-bound students than any other single organization in San Diego County since 2006 and became California’s leading tutoring program for scholarships in June 2009. Reality Changers consists of three core programs: COLLEGE TOWN for selected 8th-11th graders who will become first generation college students COLLEGE APPS ACADEMY for all 11th and 12th graders seeking to gain admission to college ALUMNI NETWORK for all program graduates seeking professional connections and lifelong friendships Today, Reality Changers’ 500 current members and 500 program graduates have earned approximately $40,000,000 in scholarships. The U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan met and visited with Reality Changers on three occasions and declared the program a “model for the nation." Most recently, Reality Changers was featured in a nationwide documentary on PBS. To donate, please visit www.RealityChangers.org and click on the “Donate” tab to help us build more college students! Please make sure that you donate on behalf of NAGAP so that we can track how much members and conference attendees give. NAGAP will match the donation up to $500.

Beaches If San Diego is known for one thing, it would be for its gorgeous beaches. With 70 miles of pristine coastline, year-around sunshine and mild temperatures, you can enjoy the surf and sand almost any day of the year. For visitors and locals alike, the beach is a veritable wonderland and the place to spend entire days with family and friends. Consistently voted one of America’s finest beaches by The Travel Channel, Coronado’s beaches glisten year around due to the mineral Mica in the sand, while gentle waves caress the shoreline. For a true step back in time, visit Coronado Island and the Hotel del Coronado. Built in 1888, and boasting signature red turret roofs, this San Diego landmark has a fascinating and colorful history complete with celebrities, royalty, a resident ghost and oodles of intrigue. The Torrey Pines State Beach offers magnificent cliff views. Dolphins and whales can occasionally be spotted from the trails running along the ocean at Torrey Pines State Park.
Shopping & Dining Come explore 50-plus diverse shops, 17 unique eateries and outdoor entertainment and find everything under the sun at Seaport Village, just steps away from the Manchester Grand Hyatt. With over 50 places to shop, Seaport Village very well might have everything – clothing for women, men and kids, souvenirs, art, toys, gifts for others and gifts for yourself. And in between the variety in all the shops, the everything continues – a lagoon, a carousel, a marina and much more. The Headquarters at Seaport District, famous for its eclectic blend of classically inspired architectural styles and rich history, the iconic former headquarters to the San Diego Police Department is Seaport District’s most exciting new retail destination. This artfully designed open-air lifestyle center is home to an exclusive collection of specialty shops, restaurants and entertainment venues. Giving new life to this historic waterfront region with the promise of a renaissance of style and a resurgence of youthful energy – The Headquarters at Seaport District. More information is available at www.theheadquarters.com/. We invite you to visit Westfield Horton Plaza, downtown San Diego’s fashionable front door. Horton Plaza is located just blocks from the Manchester Grand Hyatt. Anchored by Macy’s and Nordstrom, Horton Plaza has more than 100 specialty stores for necessities or splurges, plus exciting dining and entertainment options. Quaint boutiques, mouth-watering restaurants, colorful art galleries and festive theatres populate Old Town, making it a not-to-be-missed hot spot for tourists and locals alike. Mexican cuisine is the specialty in Old Town, where you’ll find authentic fare at any of the many cantinas. Just follow the aroma of freshly made tortillas and take a seat outside. Enjoy the sounds of local mariachi as you sip on the best margaritas in town. For more information, visit www.sandiego.org. Another good resource is the hotel concierge desk. Just tell the staff what you want to do, and they can help you locate it!
