Why The Erdmann Institute?

The Erdmann Institute was established to address a significant gap in professional development opportunities for mid-career and director-level independent school enrollment managers. Inspired by the legacy of David Erdmann, former Dean of Admission and Enrollment at Rollins College and a long-time advocate for independent schools, the institute is dedicated to advancing the knowledge, skills, leadership, and camaraderie among admission professionals. Committed to being a leader in the field of independent school admission, the Erdmann Institute fosters an engaging and collaborative environment, bringing together professionals from across the United States and Canada to share insights and best practices.
