Description
If 2020 has taught us anything in the EM profession and beyond, it’s flexibility and the need for equitable admissions. While record-keeping practices were suddenly disrupted at home, this was not a new phenomenon for international education professionals, who routinely process applications from displaced and vulnerable applicants. This session highlights how admissions processes that incorporate a framework for flexibility can be used to support access for all applicants in unprecedented times.
