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?
