About the Episode

"Stories over scores."

This notion was one of the foundational pillars behind the creation of ZeeMee - the #1 social media platform for real-time student engagement. 

ZeeMee helps colleges and universities reduce melt and increase yield through its chat, college communities,  roommate match quiz and other powerful engagement tools - it's safe to say they're true disruptors in the #EdTech space. 

On this week's episode of the podcast, Zach sits down with Vanessa Didyk, ZeeMee's CEO, for a riveting conversation on the future of college admissions. 

We're living through an unprecedented moment in college admissions.

Travel has been suspended, college fairs have been moved online, and high schools around the country are planning on everything from resuming full-time, in-person learning to full-time distance learning this next year.

Tune in to discover what Vanessa predicts this fall will look like and how ZeeMee plans to help colleges and universities bring some amount of order to the challenging chaos this next recruitment cycle will bring.
