With higher ed departments prepping for a new year, it's the perfect opportunity for a forecast. Scott Jaschik, Editor at Inside Higher Ed, runs down the Top Ten Higher Ed Stories for 2023.

With the ubiquity of technology and the ascendance of gaming and Esports in the United States, particularly with the students colleges and universities serve, it is important that technology reflect all of society. Dr. Kishonna Gray joins Mongoose to discuss how to create a virtual space that is inclusive, safe, and engaging.

In 2025, we will see a multi-decade “demographic cliff,” resulting from declining birth rates during the Great Recession. In this episode of For Your Institution, Mongoose talks about ways schools can meet this challenge. Topics discussed include how colleges can regain trust as it erodes in higher education and how institutions can differentiate themselves from their peers to increase enrollment.

Giving Tuesday raised $2.7 BILLION in 2021. And we anticipate that number only increasing this year! Ensure your campus and Advancement teams are prepared by watching this For Your Institution episode with Brian Gawor, Vice President of Research at RNL, and Lauren Jaeger, the resident fundraising expert at Mongoose, where they discuss ways to make your Giving Tuesday campaigns successful.

As institutions evolve and undergraduate enrollment continues to decline, it’s more important than ever for institutions to prioritize recruiting for their graduate programs. In this episode, you'll hear tips and best practices on how to recruit current undergraduate students and recent alumni to be graduate students at your school. Our guests are Lauren  Kicak, Graduate Admissions at Canisius College and Mike Seaman from Mongoose.

Institutions have the best intentions to create a thoughtful and thorough admissions process. However, between the deadlines, documents, events, meetings, travel, etc., the college search process can become unwieldy for prospective students and their families.

Dr. Liz Gross from Campus Sonar and Dayana Kibilds from Ologie discuss how institutions can identify and remedy the pain points in the Admissions process for prospective students and families. 

How does a parent view a college campus when visiting with their child? This episode of FYI gives you a unique perspective on making sure your institution's campus is checking the boxes for guardians.  Our guest, Mike Gluck, is an experienced Marketer with Gluckworks and an invested parent of two students exploring their future.

You'll find insight on little things your college or university should highlight on campus visits, who would be a good tour guide, and things some parents find at schools that might be turn-offs.

The world of digital engagement is greatly impacted and hopefully improving the student experience. To learn more, we worked with Higher Ed Dive to survey higher education leaders about their plans for the future of chat and text. In this episode of 'For Your Institution,' we discuss the results of the survey to which 150 higher ed leaders responded. 

A lot is happening on college campuses in August and September and the calendar can be hectic.  So, Mike Kochczynski, Lena Militello, and Jenn Diethorn from Mongoose are here with tips on how to plan your communications, including texting but incorporating all channels.
