In an era of increasing regulatory complexity, public health crises, and changing applicant behaviors, institutions must be agile, collaborative, and data-informed. This session will feature representatives from multiple schools at Towson University who have implemented various Centralized Application Services (CASs) to streamline the admissions process, improve compliance, and build institutional resilience, particularly during critical periods such as the COVID-19 pandemic.

Representatives from the Association of American Colleges of Nursing (AACN), the Physician Assistant Education Association (PAEA), and the Council of Academic Programs in Communication Sciences and Disorders (CAPCSD) will join the discussion, offering insight into how national associations and Liaison partner with institutions to strengthen admissions infrastructure and promote shared best practices across disciplines.

This candid panel discussion will explore:

• The role of CAS in enhancing efficiency and data integrity across decentralized schools.
• How associations and Liaison support strategic enrollment efforts and regulatory navigation.
• Real-world challenges faced by Johns Hopkins schools and how CAS provided stability during crises.
• Opportunities for deeper collaboration between institutions and their professional associations.

Whether you’re evaluating CAS participation or looking to maximize its value, this session will offer actionable strategies and a behind-the-scenes look at how CAS can serve as a foundation for scalable, compliant, and resilient admissions operations.
