About the Episode

On this week’s episode of The Enrollify Podcast, we feature a recent conversation between Eric Stoller and Cliff Holekamp that was originally published on the In Your Element podcast — a sister show to The Enrollify Podcast. 

This fast-paced dialogue drops listeners into a compelling conversation about higher education. In Your Element asks innovative leaders about the challenges, wins, and future of everything from meeting enrollment numbers to equity in education.

Cliff Holekamp is the Cofounder & Managing Director of Cultivation Capital. On this episode, Eric and Cliff discuss:

  • The ethical and financial ramifications of a needs-blind admissions model
  • Why university programs like entrepreneurship are becoming more and more popular
  • How recruiting and retention go hand in hand
  • The rise of technological innovation across universities and why colleges are really tech companies

Host

Eric Stoller

Eric Stoller is the former Vice President of Product Strategy at Element451—an advanced student engagement CRM available, providing higher ed institutions with a competitive admissions advantage from recruitment to enrollment. You may know Eric from his articles on Inside Higher Ed, speaking engagements, or consulting work around digital engagement. He’s always loved doing marketing and public relations but never wanted to work for an agency. However, Eric’s experiences in student development services at the University of Illinois Chicago and enrollment management + academic advising at Oregon State University cemented his interest in the intersection of technology, student success, and digital engagement. Eric has an associate degree from Indian Hills Community College, a bachelor’s degree in communications from the University of Northern Iowa, a master’s degree in higher education administration from Oregon State University, and an honorary doctorate in coffee drinking.
