Dry Run is an annual workshop designed to provide practical experience for new admission professionals. The program provides training in relevant basic skills and discussion of pertinent issues and situations encountered in the admission profession. Participants will attend presentations, engage in case studies, work within small-group settings, and participate in mock-situation settings.
Workshop participants will be assisted by volunteer “faculty.” Conference faculty are current college counseling professionals and represent a variety of institutions (secondary and higher education, public and private). This year’s faculty have over 175 years of combined experience. Click here see a list of the college counseling professionals volunteering their time as Dry Run faculty.
