What's worth reading in our industry? I hired someone last year with zero admissions experience and he was looking for books to read to learn more. I had a few on my shelf to loan him, although mostly from the higher education perspective. If someone had a similar request of you, what is on your bookshelf that you would recommend? I started with these two:
1. The Gatekeepers. You'll quickly find yourself invested in the lives of these students and in the admissions office. It was hard to put down!
2. Questions and Admissions. There is nothing Fetter doesn't share, down to the color of the markers used in the folder reading process. A most interesting read, from the complex to the minuscule.
P.S. Happy Canada Day everyone!
