The Hottest Seat on Campus

""Enrollment leaders are the architects of opportunity in America--and yet their role is deeply misunderstood. In The Hottest Seat on Campus, Angel Pérez brings these leaders into the spotlight with honesty, humility, and deep insight. This book is a master class in leadership under pressure. Through his own powerful story and the voices of many others, he sheds light on what it means to lead with purpose in an era of disruption. This is more than a book about admissions --it's a call to empower and support the people shaping the future of higher education. I urge all higher ed leaders, especially college presidents and board members, to read this."" --Shirley M. Collado, president emerita, Ithaca College, and president and CEO, College Track ""Pérez does an amazing job of weaving his personal narrative into thoughtful insights all aspiring enrollment/admission deans should consider. Given the meaningful challenges tied to access and outcomes in higher education, attracting and retaining values-driven leaders is essential for institutional sustainability. This book provides a great guide for personal resilience."" --John Haller, professor of higher education and former enrollment management vice president, University of Miami ""This book is an urgent read for all senior admissions officers in our profession. Our work has never been under more scrutiny and never been more important. We need the next generation of enrollment leaders to read these pages and take up the call to better our institutions, the country, and the world!"" --Jeremiah Quinlan, dean of undergraduate admissions and financial aid, Yale University
