How students search for and decide for a university has grown more complex: the search process and the consulted channels have multiplied.
UNIspotter conducted a study among 86 students (business; interested in pursuing a Master) to observe how they search, where they search and what they search for when deciding for a study program.
We discovered that the search process follows a pattern (4 stages):
- Browse universities (50+ programs)
- Narrow down the option (15-25 programs)
- Detailed Research: Compare (10 programs)
- (Pre-)Decision: Apply (on average 5 programs)
However, not all the touch points are considered equally relevant for the final decision.
The university of the future needs to attract top-talent in a rapidly changing market and needs to manage the information that impacts the future students' decision.

Online Education: Helping Adults Achieve their Educational and professional Goals
Thesis: Although Human Resource Managers and Admissions Counselors often have concerns about the quality of online education such that they more often than not discriminate against holders of online degrees, the benefits of having a degree over none is leading most adults and working parents to pursue online education as the only avenue for them to keep their jobs, attend to family and personal matters while achieving their educational and professional goals.
I. The advent of the internet and an ongoing need for education has served as the impetus for the steadily growing of online education.
A. A study by (Ormond 46), presented in his book, reveals that ‘‘online and distance learning are the world’s fastest growing areas of educational development’’.
B. According to a study by Harvard Business School Professor Clayton Christensen and Michael Horn, by 2019, about half of all high school courses will be taken online.
II. Numerous researches have shown that the quality of education delivered online is on the same par with if not more rigorous than education delivered in traditional bricks and mortar institution.
A. Most online education students find that online education requires more discipline and commitment.
B. Prominent institutions like Harvard University, the University of London, and University of South Africa among others have created and are delivering some of their programs online to adults and busy individuals who cannot come to campus.
C. That the Big Three (Thomas Edison State College, Charter Oak States College, and Excelsior College) are regionally accredited and are 100% devoted to online education for adults, is an indication of the quality of the education offered by these colleges.
III. There is a need to sensitize and appeal to the inner conscience of Human Resource and hiring managers to stop the discrimination against legitimate online education degree holders and enforce laws on online degree discrimination.
A. Making some traditional students take at least one or two online classes can help change the bias against online education.
B. It is possible to help adults who have lost hope of returning back to college to take advantage of the technology of the twenty first century to achieve and live their dreams of becoming educated and landing the their dream jobs.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

7. Websites
Planning and Implementation:
Exclusive vs. Inclusive
Separate International Admission page
International-specific information included into the general page
Visibility – Is your page hidden within several other admission pages?

institution
Hierarchy and bureaucracy within the university

Considerations for Publications/Communications:
One piece or more? Define functions for each piece.
Who to get involved with the development?
Who is your audience?
What questions need to be answered within each
piece?
What other information needs to be in each piece?
Who to mail/email to and when?
Do we mail at all?
If you use any domestic pieces in your mail flow, are
they international friendly?

in kilometers(P/W)
List accreditations and accolades that lend credibility i.e. ABET, AACSB,
etc.(P/W)

ultimately deny?
Templates for incomplete int’l, incomplete transfers, incomplete
US citizens living overseas.
Marketing info in follow-up letters
12. Print & e-mail

Do you send tracking info when an I-20 is sent?
Is I-20 sent after admission or deposit?
“X student is coming!!!” email to counselor

27. Top 10
Counselor
NetworkingTips
fromJudi, Fred,
& Marty
1. Think about attending…OACAC, NACAC, EducationUSA, CIS Forum,CIS
Tri-Association Conference, CIS conference in association withASSA
2. Carry list of admitted and deposited lists to these events. For at least the
last year, if not two or three years. Photos of their students??
3. Consider counselor fly-ins; free hotel if they visit
4. Create quarterly counselor newsletter
5. Participate in the social aspects of OACAC whenever you can
6. Don’t try to “sell” your institution to counselors ; instead, focus on building
a trusting relationship with them. You will have a chance to showcase your
institution during the college fair and in the future
7. Have a “plan of attack” based on region and type of school, but don’t be
afraid of deviating from it. Counselors know other counselors and they
also move around quite a bit.
8. Connect on social media with FB groups & counselors/advisers on
LinkedIn/FB: OACAC,College Admissions Counselors, GlobeTrotters
United, College Admissions Recruiter Network
9. Have enough business cards, always!
10. Be ruthless in dodgeball tournaments with fellow higher ed colleagues, but
go easy on the counselors
