Learn and Lend Your Expertise for Our Upcoming Conference: Attributes That Matter: Beyond the Usual in College Admissions and Success

The research is clear. The attributes of a successful college student go well beyond measures of the defined components of standardized tests and high school grades. The abilities to adapt, persist, interpret, lead, be creative, handle disappointment, and negotiate complex systems often make the difference between a student who is a good choice or a poor one in admission and a student who is engaged and successful on campus or one who is not.

How can these attributes be identified and cultivated? Which explain success and for whom? How are they considered in college admission policies and how can they be given their due? How might high school preparation change if these attributes were more widely understood to be critical in college admission and success?
