S3E3: Hunger Makes a Modern Admissions Expert: Adam Castro, Mercy College by The Quad

What’s Adam Castro’s wish? He’d like higher ed institutions to take chances on ambitious enrollment and admissions strategists. Giving more responsibility to a determined individual before they feel ready may allow them to rise to the challenge. This was the case for Adam when he pivoted from Wall Street and the non-profit sector to work in higher ed. In the third episode of season three of The Quad, the Mercy College Vice President of Admissions, Adam Castro discusses how Mercy invested heavily in their technology at the time of the pandemic and pushed their institution into a new digital era. He also looks back on the difference in responsibilities from moving to from a director role to VP role and how important it is to delegate and lean on experts.
