Time: 12:00-1:00 PM
Speakers: TxGAP Governing Board
Description: Join the TXGAP Board of Directors for a conversational round-table session designed to reconnect, share updates, and hear what’s on your mind. With recent transitions across the board and within our membership, we want to take time to update you on what’s new, what’s coming, and how we’re working to strengthen member engagement this year.
Most of the session will be guided by your questions and interests—whether you’re curious about admissions trends, recruitment strategies, application systems, workplace wellness, supervision, or broader professional growth. This is an open space to talk, learn from one another, and shape the direction of our community together.
We’d love for you to bring your questions, ideas, and anything you’ve been wondering about. Let’s connect, share, and keep building the momentum of our TXGAP membership.

Past Webinars
What Motivates Graduate Students? Looking Beyond Achievements to Connection
Speaker: Elizabeth Rawlings, Owner of Selected Insights LLC
Description: What truly motivates graduate students? Is it a sense of belonging? A desire for a better future? A job promotion? In this session, we will delve into research on the psychological drivers behind decision-making and how these factors influence motivation for degree attainment, needs, and even institutional choice.
The Grad Enrollment Playbook for Google & AI Search Behavior
Speakers: Tony Fraga, CEO and Kirby Wilson, Senior Optimization Strategist of Direct Development
Description: The way prospective graduate students search for programs and make enrollment decisions has fundamentally changed. Traditional SEO tactics that focus on ranking “blue links” aren’t enough to reach and resonate with today’s digitally savvy prospects. Students are relying on new sources of information and expecting faster, clearer, and more detailed answers. This session will explore how graduate enrollment managers must evolve their content strategies to meet these changes.
