About the Episode

A few years ago, enrollment managers couldn't stop talking about how Millennials were disrupting the traditional student recruitment process - and now they can't stop talking about Generation Z (people born in the mid 1990s to the early 2000s). On this week's episode of the Enrollify Podcast, we chat with Bart Caylor about the meaningful differences between Millennials and Gen Z-ers, how enrollment managers need to adjust their communication tactics in order to win Gen Z's attention, and what small schools with small budgets can do to stand out in an increasingly crowded market.
