About the Episode

The what's what...

In our first SUMMER SESSIONS¸ episode, Mickey and Zach chat about the disruption in the higher ed industry ushered in by the pandemic and the unique challenges faced by various types of educational institutions. 

The hosts dive into the following questions:

  • Is this the 'moment of truth' for schools who are facing massive enrollment declines? How do they become genuinely distinct, before going extinct?

  • Why do enrollment marketers focus on huge virtual events, when there can be rich and engaging events on a smaller scale?

  • When will there be a disruption of the application process? Will institutions ever rethink application deadlines, especially as they shift toward being test-optional?

Jump into this first episode for additional insights by Mickey and Zach. And stay tuned for five more episodes of this special segment designed to teach you a new strategy and/or tactic to help you become a better enrollment manager or higher ed marketer this summer.
