Admission Training Institute (ATI)

Now more than ever it's critical that whole admission team is equipped with the best network, knowledge, and skills to help meet your school’s enrollment goals. This pre-conference workshop provides new assistants and associates the opportunity to connect with peers, learn from industry experts, and benefit from the wisdom of experienced directors.

Held in-person each year at EMA’s Annual Conference, a variety of engaging formats are used—from expert instruction to group discussion time and individual reflection. Seasoned admission directors serve as program advisors who mentor participants. Additionally, an individualized mentor/mentee program is established which continues beyond the conference with check-ins and programming throughout the year.
