About the Episode
About The Episode:
On this episode of Funnel Vision: One Campus, Two Markets, host Rishab Malhotra sits down with two leaders from the University of Massachusetts Amherst: Dr. Matt Boyce, Vice Provost for Enrollment Management, and Dr. Kalpen Trivedi, Senior Vice Provost for Global Affairs. Together, they explore how enrollment and international affairs must work in lockstep to build sustainable growth strategies for the future.
Matt and Kalpen share how UMass Amherst is breaking down traditional silos between domestic and international enrollment, creating a more unified institutional approach that recognizes every enrollment decision impacts the broader university ecosystem. They discuss the importance of collaboration, shared accountability, and why enrollment success can no longer rest solely on the shoulders of admissions teams.
The conversation also examines the growing role of technology and AI in enrollment operations, how institutions can use automation to enhance—not replace—human engagement, and why data-driven decision-making is becoming essential in an increasingly competitive marketplace. Listeners will also hear their perspectives on transnational education (TNE), international partnerships, and what university leaders should consider before pursuing global expansion strategies.
Whether you're leading enrollment, international education, student success, or institutional strategy, this episode offers a practical look at how higher education leaders can build stronger, more coordinated enrollment models in an era where every student market matters.
