Jenny Rickard, CEO and President of Common App, joins FYI host Gil Rogers for a conversation from the 2023 NACAC Conference about challenges with the current college application process. Jenny shares insights on how small changes could bring large benefits in accessibility, and the real underpinnings of college choice that are tied closely to a school’s affordability, and how it all ties to the compelling mission of the Common App - reaching out to students facing barriers that prevent them from applying to college.
