CERPP Conference 2015-College Admission 2025: Embracing the Future

January 21-23, 2015 (Los Angeles, CA)

Nearly 200 participants from around the US and abroad came together for the 2015 CERPP Conference, College Admissions 2025: Embracing the Future. Together, we forecast the future of college admissions and explored a future in which state and national borders are permeable, degrees are blended, a non-White US population emerges, existing technology becomes obsolete, and outcomes are the key indicators. The following questions guided the discussion:

  • How will admission policy and practice change?
  • How can we prepare for what we know and what we may not know about the future?
  • What will be the emerging roles of institutions, governments, and entrepreneurs?
