Watch a webcast recording where our experts connect with the broader higher education community to share ideas and answer questions as campuses continue to navigate the COVID-19 crisis.
Graduate education leaders are managing a difficult balancing act in light of current circumstances. On one hand, there’s a real need to be proactive with yield strategy and communication with admitted students, both domestic and international. On the other, there is still a lot of uncertainty related to the trajectory of the pandemic and institutional decisions around fall semester. What are the right messages to be sending? What creative strategies are other graduate leaders exploring when it comes to yield and tuition discounting?
Watch this webcast recording as we facilitate a discussion with David Cotter, Assistant Provost for Graduate Enrollment & Master’s and Professional Support at Boston University. You’ll hear our expert and your fellow attendees share considerations and best current thinking around the following:
- Yield for domestic and international graduate students
- Scholarships, aid, and discount strategy
- Internal and external communication: Sharing accurate, up-to-date information with faculty, staff, and students
- Impacts to overall graduate enrollment plans

This webcast has been primarily designed for administrative leaders who have central oversight for graduate education at their institutions.

A Discussion-Based Format
