Admission Directors Institute
The Enrollment Management Association’s premier training program for new admission directors.

Tackle today's challenges—together.
The Admission Directors Institute (ADI) equips new Admission Directors (0-3 years) who have prior admission experience with information and perspectives necessary to help inform their thinking and planning in addressing their school’s enrollment challenges.
A variety of formats are utilized—from expert instruction to group discussion time and individual reflection. Seasoned admission directors serve as program advisors and mentor participants throughout the program. Additionally, an individualized mentor/mentee program is established which continues beyond the conference with check-ins and programming throughout the year.
