About the Episode

From working in residential student life at Elizabethtown College, to producing his own TV show, to directing accelerated programs at Albright College, to becoming a principal at Kennedy & Company, Mickey Baines may just be the most interesting man in the enrollment management consulting game!

On the show this week, we feature an energetic conversation between Zach and Mickey on how enrollment marketers can best leverage this all-but-usual moment we find ourselves in.

Tune in for original ideas and passion-filled insights on how to get "fanatical" about student recruitment in the era of COVID-19. 

Among other questions, Mickey answers:

  1. There's a lot of fear and uncertainty about what the fall of 2020 will look like for schools across the country. How should VPs of Enrollment and Marketing be leading right now? Are there any good examples of strong leadership you've seen in recent weeks that you could share?

  2. We're closing out the fiscal year in higher ed. Where should enrollment marketers be spending their final dollars and where do you predict budgets will be spent come July 1 through the end of 2020?

  3. Over the course of your career, you've worked with many higher education leaders in a variety of formats. You've seen strong admissions teams and weak marketing and communications departments. Can you speak to an operation that you were wowed by? What lessons might our listens garner from this efficient, engaging, and effective operation?
