The ladies talk with ASCEND graduates Johnika Dreher from Kent State University, Malia Jones from Elon University, and Ria Woods White from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University about their experiences participating in AACRAO’s ASCEND program and their reflections on how it has helped them think about their current and future professional opportunities. AACRAO’s ASCEND program, “. . .aims to diversify the leadership in the enrollment management profession by recruiting and developing a diverse cohort of mid-level professionals and preparing them to take on roles in enrollment management in North America and around the globe.” Johnika, Malia, and Ria also talked about what brought them to the program, how they balance all the things, and the importance of “finding your squad” as one navigates the higher education landscape.
