2021 Marketing and Enrollment Management Seminar to be held virtually
Exciting news — the Marketing and Enrollment Management Seminar will again be held virtually in 2021. The 2020 Seminar was a great success, with many first-time attendees among the more than 1,250 registrants.
We heard clearly from UPCEA members like you that institutional budget and travel restrictions would severely limit access to in-person events for many of our members in 2021. For this reason, the volunteer planning committee and UPCEA staff believe that a virtual event is the best path forward for marketing and enrollment professionals in our field.
This year’s seminar is tentatively scheduled for December 1-3. The planning committee is already hard at work developing an engaging program, and you’ll see more information soon from the seminar’s co-chairs.
I hope you and your team will join us online. As a 2020 attendee said: “A huge ‘THANKS!!!’ to UPCEA for providing the option for member institutions to pay a flat fee and allow several staff to attend during this very difficult time!”
Session recordings and materials from the 2020 Seminar will be available in CORe, UPCEA’s members-only community, next month.
