NAGAP members, leaders in graduate enrollment management, greatly benefit from their expertise and perspective on the current and future state of higher education.

    Building on the previous year’s success, NAGAP will again offer a lunch intended to facilitate connecting members with others in similar professional settings. The opportunity to network is consistently ranked among the top benefits of attending the Annual Conference, and this lunch is certain to attract maximum-capacity crowds seeking to mix and mingle with colleagues old and new to exchange conversation about issues and trends common to their roles and institutional settings. The Sponsor of this event helps facilitate NAGAP’s educational efforts by further enticing attendees with lunch.
