Overview

Elements of Success: What's Your Formula? Many elements make up a school's winning formula.  The ones you combine and how you blend them set your program apart from the rest.  What's the right chemistry for you?  Attendees discussed this and other topics at the 2009 GMAC Annual Industry Conference in Baltimore, Maryland on June 18, 2009 - June 20, 2009.
