Many college and university admissions offices are so focused on farming applications that they forget that students want to feel a connection with their school.

As Liz Rainwater, Director of Admission Marketing and Communication at TCU, reminds us, trust is the foundation for every relationship. That’s why the folks at TCU prioritize giving over taking when they start a dialogue with prospective students and their parents.

Liz tells us why building a two-way connection early in the admissions process is so important and how they’re getting parents actively involved in their children’s futures.
