Admissions factors in college applications often boil down to grades plus tests and then the rest. What happens when the influence of standardized scores is minimized or entirely excluded? Amy and Mike asked U of R Vice Provost and Dean of Enrollment Management Robert Alexander and educational consultant Aly Beaumont the million-dollar question: what do truly test-optional colleges focus on?  What are five things you will learn in this episode? How do you know if a school is truly test-optional? What are the components of the application review process? What aspects of high school grades are most important? How can applicants communicate character through their applications? What is the benefit of submitting test scores to a truly test-optional school? MEET OUR GUESTS Dr. Robert J. Alexander serves as the vice provost and university dean of enrollment at the University of Rochester, with responsibility for more than 90 staff members across the offices of admissions, financial aid, and enrollment management, an operating budget of $9.4 million, and distribution of over $330 million in student aid. As a first-generation college graduate, his twenty-year professional career is animated by a passion for higher education's transformational impact on a diverse array of students. Alexander received his doctorate from the University of Pennsylvania, conducting dissertation research focused on higher education leadership and governance. He previously graduated from Tulane University with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Paul Tulane College and an M.B.A. in Marketing and Management from Tulane's A.B. Freeman School of Business and served on the Tulane Alumni Association Board of Directors. Originally from New York, Alexander serves as class fund chairman for his alma mater, Regis High School. Alexander is active with the National Association for College Admission Counseling (NACAC), the American Association of College Registrars and Admission Officers (AACRAO), the College Board, the Association of Governing Boards (AGB), and the American Marketing Association (AMA), speaking at national meetings regarding enrollment management and marketing strategies. His work has been published in national publications, including the Association of Governing Board's Trusteeship Magazine. Before the University of Rochester, Alexander held senior administrative and teaching roles at various institutions across the United States. As vice president for enrollment and communications at Millsaps College in Jackson, Mississippi, his work increased undergraduate net revenue per student, doubled the representation of domestic students of color and the proportion of international students. As an academic leader and instructor of management, Alexander helped develop Millsaps' nonprofit management program, and taught courses combining Liberal Arts and Business concepts to provide skills for graduates to positively impact their communities. While serving as the associate provost for enrollment at University of the Pacific in northern California, Dr. Alexander coordinated strategic plans that dramatically increased prospective student interest, increased university-wide enrollment to record levels, while simultaneously improving academic quality and financial metrics. As assistant vice president for enrollment management at Tulane University in New Orleans, Louisiana, Alexander's efforts during and following Hurricane Katrina successfully restored enrollment and improved the institution's reputation and impact on its surrounding community.

Hello and welcome to another episode of the Perception Podcast with me, your host, Caroline Partridge. In this amazing episode, I talk to the hugely knowledgeable Professor Josh Davis about his groundbreaking work in the field of super recognition. We unravel the science behind super recognition and look at the crippling and rarely considered effects of genetic prosopagnosia or 'face blindness'. Josh shares some staggering statistics about super-recognisers and reveals the three critical factors in recognising faces. You can also follow the link to take a test to see if you have what it takes to be a super recogniser. Please join me as we look at life through a familiar looking lens. KEY TAKEAWAYS Genetics plays a big role in how good we are at recognising faces. Shy people don´t tend to be super recognisers. Only about 0.5% of the population are super-recognisers. Super-recognisers are better than computers. Lockdown and CoVid may have negatively impacted facial recognition abilities. Some people suffer from face blindness to the point where they cannot recognise loved ones. Often, prosopagnosia is only diagnosed when a child goes to school. Twenty super recognisers identified 600 London rioters. Balaclavas do not always prevent identification. Super recognisers also spot stalkers and find missing people. BEST MOMENTS ‘It (face recognition) is probably the strongest heritable cognitive skill we know of.' ‘It's exposure to people that makes you better at face recognition in general.' ‘Super recognisers also recognise that they've never seen a face before. ´   ABOUT THE GUEST Biog: Professor Josh P Davis BSc MSc Ph.D. AFBPsS FHEA CPsychol Professor in Applied Psychology Face and Voice Recognition Lab Institute of Lifecourse Development Profile: https://www.gre.ac.uk/people/rep/faculty-of-education-and-health/josh-davis Research and publications: www.superrecognisers.com ORCID: ORCID Socials & Links: University: https://www.gre.ac.uk/people/rep/faculty-of-education-and-health/josh-davis    LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/josh-p-davis-7050137b/   Website: www.superrecognisers.com     Twitter: @GREcognisers  Direct test link: Could you be a Super-Recogniser?

TODAY'S GUEST   Dr. Amy Milton is an Associate Professor in Behavioral Neuroscience at the University of Cambridge and the Ferreras-Willetts Fellow in Neuroscience at Downing College Cambridge. Her research focuses on understanding how memories persist and become updated in the brain, with the aim of using this knowledge to develop new forms of treatment for mental health disorders based on maladaptive emotional memories. She's trying to understand the conditions under which emotional memories become unstable, particularly those contributing to post traumatic stress disorder and drug addiction.   We talked in the middle of April 2022. When I heard about Amy's research and watched her TED Talk about editing memories, I thought this was something out of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. It's not often that you encounter treatment with such transformative results and such promise, and at the same time, such scary potential. Despite her very technical subject, Amy was easy to talk to and I appreciated the care she took in explaining her research and its implications to a general audience.    EPISODE SUMMARY   In this conversation we talk about: How from a very early age, she was fascinated with the gap between what people intended to do and what they ended up doing, growing up with parents who were smokers. Editing memories, and how new information can be incorporated and the memories themselves disrupted. Studying addiction and the connection between addiction and memory, and how disrupting certain memories can prevent relapse. Different types of memories — implicit memories and explicit memories, episodic memories, emotional memories, habits. What does the smell of baking bread have to do with memory's role in addiction? What can we do to fight addiction? The role of memories in phobias and PTSD. Exposure therapy and how it can get better with memory modification. The use of psychedelics in therapy and in addiction, and how understanding the memory component of that can help us understand, potentially, psychedelics better.  Virtual reality exposure. And the ethical considerations of modifying someone's memory, whether it be through overuse, abuse, or a tyranny where individual rights are not a consideration.   This is one of a dozen or so weekly conversations we already have lined up for you with thinkers, designers, makers, authors, entrepreneurs, and investors who are working to change our world for the better.

TODAY'S GUEST   Professor Steve Evans leads one of those fields that sound boring, but are actually super critical to our world and our future. He is a Director of Research in Industrial Sustainability at Cambridge University, where he leads research that helps factories become sustainable at scale. He helps industry bring about sustainable change at scale, including business model innovation, system transformation, and helps push the limits of efficiency in both advanced and developing countries.   Steve has over 30 years of academic experience and spent over 15 years in industry, where he led groundbreaking projects with Airbus, Jaguar Land Rover, Nissan, Electrolux, Toyota, as well as the city of Porto, Portugal, among many others.   EPISODE SUMMARY   In this conversation we talk about: What he learned from his early interest in martial arts. How his time in both academia and industry helped him think about the right relationship between the two. Why industrial sustainability is so crucial for avoiding catastrophic climate change and why it also represents an enormous financial opportunity. How to make making itself more sustainable. What the shadow of a bike is, and why we need to think about the sustainability of products we buy as larger than simply the materials used in their making. What his vision for industry in 2050 is. And what are some of the most promising developments he's seen in this field?   This conversation is one of a dozen or so weekly conversations we already have lined up for you with thinkers, designers, makers, authors, scientists, entrepreneurs, and impact investors who are working to change our world for the better.

“I think that's part of why I love competing, is being side-by-side with people, having the spectators cheer you on and scream you on, and just being in the environment- it's just so much energy.  You push yourself and you don't think as much about the pain as when you're doing a workout by yourself. But I'm thankful that there was… because CrossFit ended up sending judges, it was nice that we had a judge, and the gym that we were at had some of their members come and spectate, and my coach- it was really cool also having my coach right there next to me, which is different than any other sort of competition.  So, it kind of felt like a competition but also didn't. Like I said, just because of those factors, but I did my best to keep it the same as a competition setting because, I bet similar to you being an athlete and growing up in gymnastics, just that competition mentality- nothing is like it, and you just bring yourself a little bit higher up than in training.” - Kari Pearce In just 6 years, Kari Pearce has built one of the most impressive resumes in the sport of CrossFit.  A 6-time CrossFit Games competitor, she has been a consistent performer, never finishing outside the top 10 since her rookie season in 2015.  She has also earned the title of fittest American female three times and has represented Team USA at the CrossFit Invitational in 2016 in Canada and in 2017 in Australia. Kari is among the top 5 Fittest Women on Earth who are about to take on Stage 2 of the 2020 CrossFit Games. Kari has a background in gymnastics and competed for the University of Michigan where where her team won 4 Big Ten Championships. There she also earned her degree in Movement Science from the School of Kinesiology and was three time Academic All Big Ten. In addition to being a full time athlete, Kari has used her experience with gymnastics, CrossFit, and coaching to develop PowerAbs, which is a core program done by thousands of people around the world. In this episode we caught up just a couple weeks before Stage 2 of the 2020 CrossFit Games to talk about some of our shared experiences growing up doing gymnastics in Michigan, her collegiate gymnastics career, how she found CrossFit, some defining moments in her Games career thus far, and how she has approached all the twists and turns of this unprecedented season. In this episode we discuss: Kari's background doing gymnastics in Michigan Why she decided to pursue collegiate gymnastics instead of Olympic gymnastics Her insights into how the culture of gymnastics can improve to protect young athletes Lessons in nutrition and recovery that, in hindsight, Kari thinks would have benefitted her as a young gymnast How Kari got into CrossFit High points and struggles within her career so far Kari's approach to dealing with injuries and finding the right mindset to allow them to heal Her experience and approach to the 2020 training season Making the move to Las Vegas Her reflections on Stage 1 of the 2020 CrossFit Games Her approach to training as she prepares for Stage 2 Why Kari feels her coaches and training environment are important to her success as an athlete Her daily routine The Power Abs program Three things Kari does on a regular basis that have the biggest positive impact on her health One thing she thinks could have a big impact on her health, but she has a hard time implementing What a healthy life looks like to Kari You can follow Kari on her website,  Instagram, YouTube,  Facebook and Twitter.

Allyson M Pollock is professor of public health and Director of Institute of Health and Society in the Medical Faculty of Newcastle University. She is a public health doctor and has been researching injuries and rugby injuries for more than ten years. She takes what she describes as the ‘child’s perspective’ and asks – Do children know the risks of playing school rugby? Do all schools have appropriate risk mitigation? She reminds us that the health benefits of physical activity are well proven – but if one critically reviews the literature those benefits have not been proven for school rugby. This is a controversial position that is strongly countered by others. BJSM doesn’t have a position in this debate – our job is to highlight that there is a respectful debate and to encourage scrutiny of the existing evidence. We encourage researchers to add new data to this question and similar ones in sport.

Melissa Sanabria is one of those rare people who is both super creative and super organized. She is the designer and blogger behind Pretty Little Rowhouse and she is a consultant with a Big Four accounting firm. She is a natural at dishing out great design solutions and she is just as comfortable directing projects and managing clients engagements. This week we get to hear the story of how she developed these twin skill sets and what she learned along the way. In the process, we hear many great examples for how knowing what you want can really catalyze you to take actions that move you towards that reality. Melissa has made a series of intentional choices that I think will inspire all of us, especially anyone who is wondering how to launch a business that comes from the heart. “All of a sudden the wave carries you and then you’re like, what happened?” – Melissa Sanabria “I’m at the point where I need to decide: Am I going to be all in on [my job] or all in on my business. I like to work and I like to be challenged; it’s hard to do both halfway. I kind of need to choose one or the other and be all in.” – Melissa Sanabria Resources and Links University of Arizona’s program in Agricultural & Resources Economics Warren Wilson Learn More About Melissa Pretty Little Rowhouse pinterest: melissasanabria  insta: mannesanabria
