We hold meetings twice a day. One in the morning to talk about what we have planned for the day and then again in the afternoon to see how everyone's day panned out. We then have an enrollment team meeting that involves Finance and Admissions, once a week, to give us all updates on what is going on. Following that we generally have a product knowledge training on one of our many programs a week. Every quarter, all the departments get together and have town hall meetings to discuss how the company is doing as a whole and discuss strengths and weaknesses of the previous quarter. All of our meetings are mandatory.
I think meetings are very important. We have meetings across all Admissions departments from all campuses weekly and we also have meetings 2 or 3 times a week in our specific department. I think these meetings allow us to recap on everything for the week and give room for updates. I would highly recommend every school and department to do this.
The meeting are endless!! :)
Admissions staff meet quarterly to better understand enrollment projections for individual programs. This is also an opportunity to determine how many seats will be available in my program. An added complexity to our admissions process is the international admissions office and how/what pre-departure information students must have prior to arriving on campus.
Admissions staff also visit the Program Director and Chair meetings 2-3x/year for questions and answer sessions. These exchanges are very helpful.
This is only my second day with ITT. However, just yesterday, I two meetings. Both were informative; and it was gratifying to be able to participate. Communication and staying current as to what how matters are evolving throughout, are integral parts of a successful process...and outcome.
Our institution community meetings are an essential resource for all employees, as various facets of university life are discussed for each division that makes the university whole. More times than not we are majorly exposed to important details that either directly effect our role or we are directly responsible for; however, student success goes far beyond what we see in front of us. This also leads into meetings and involvement with institution committees, service-learning opportunities with the local community, or partnerships and agreements with local businesses.
I am relatively new, so I have yet to attend too many meetings, but I aware that we have weekly meetings. I have been to a few, and we are always kept up-to-date on policies and requirements. We also have discussions about the future plans for our school.
I attend 2 weekly staff meetings as well as best practices meetings. I attend annual conferences and professional development training. I also attend emotional intelligence workshops.
Gustavo,
Meetings are an important aspect of life in admissions. We are a team in our efforts and need to make sure were all on the same page.

Alicia,
That is a common practice in admissions. Morning meetings and afternoon meetings are mandatory and go over the days activities.

Stephanie,
It is a very common practice. We need to see where we are with questions to be answered and how we can improve.

Weekly meetings where we discuss all aspects of admissions to include whether or not to continue contacting leads that have not responded to any communication.
Ronald,
For the contact of leads it's a hit or miss proposition. Some say not now can come back later and be a solid lead. Others who become labeled as do not call are lost forever.

We have weekly meetings, one of importance is the show meeting.
The meetings I attend are monthly and really help to determine a clear track of where we are going as an institution. We go over policies, rules and regulations that otherwise would have been forgotten and keep our minds fresh with how the institution should run and cater to employees and students.
