November 21, 2019 Episode 20: Developing a Strategic Enrollment Marketing Plan: The People, Processes, and Strategies Necessary for Success
This week, we feature a conversation with Corynn Myers, Digital Marketing Manager at the University of Michigan, who discusses the importance of data and the feedback loop in developing a high-powered, results-oriented marketing strategy. Corynn shares insight into why the University of Michigan decided to "break up" with their vendors and bring creative talent back in house and the important role data plays to connect otherwise siloed teams at her institution. Corynn challenges higher ed marketers and enrollment professionals to keep the data at the center of all discussions around how to allocate media spend and what strategies and tactics should be a part of an institution's omni-channel marketing mix. Finally, Corynn shares specific ideas on how enrollment marketers with little-to-no budget and/or little-to-no time can get started on launching data-driven marketing campaigns for student recruitment. - - - -

November 15, 2019 Episode 19: How Midland University Differentiates Themselves by HOW They Sell and Not Just WHAT They Sell
We sat down with Danielle Richter, Director of Marketing and Recruiting for Grad Professional Programs at Midland University, to discuss how to better the student experience from initial website inquiry through graduation. A couple of years ago, Danielle and her team decided to overhaul their internal processes for managing prospects, inquiries, and applicants. Midland decided that becoming known as “the helpful university” would be one of the ways they would differentiate themselves in the increasingly competitive market of small liberal arts schools. Danielle discusses the unique ways in which Midland approaches recruitment and advising, how they compete with the General Assembly's of the world, and what internal changes were required to ensure her team was equipped to deliver exceptional service throughout the enrollment journey and beyond. - - - -

October 24, 2019 Episode 17: The Great, Good, Bad, and Ugly of Slate as a CRM for Higher Education
So, you’ve heard of Slate — but you’re wondering whether or not it’s really worth the investment of time, money, and effort to make the switch to a new CRM. On this week’s episode of the Enrollify Podcast, we feature a conversation with Zach Campion from Marymount University on all things Slate. Zach has spent almost three years working in the platform and helped assist in the migration process from Marymount’s old CRM to Slate. Zach shares honest insights into what he wished he had known before moving to Slate, what enrollment managers —especially those at the graduate level — should look for in a CRM, the best features and benefits of the tool, and the problem with the underdeveloped bells and whistles of the platform. Enjoy the show! - - - -

October 10, 2019 Episode 16: Recruitment Tactics Have Dramatically Changed — Here’s How Institutions Should Optimize Their Brand for Generation Z
A few years ago, enrollment managers couldn’t stop talking about how Millennials were disrupting the traditional student recruitment process — and now they can’t stop talking about Generation Z (people born in the mid 1990's to the early 2000's). On this week’s episode of the Enrollify Podcast, we chat with Bart Caylor about the meaningful differences between Millennials and Gen Z-ers, how enrollment managers need to adjust their communication tactics in order to win Gen Z’s attention, and what small schools with small budgets can do to stand out in an increasingly crowded market. - - - -

October 02, 2019 Episode 15: Developing and Marketing New Graduate Programs in Response to Today’s Market Demands: A Conversation with Vanderbilt’s Director of Professional Programs
The era of technological disruption we’re living in has really only just begun. In a day and age where access to education and information is easier than ever before, many institutions are struggling to create innovative programs that are relevant to the needs of today’s market, not mention also attractive to today’s highly-educated, debt-averse prospective graduate students. On today’s episode of the Enrollify Podcast, we speak with Joanne Wang from Vanderbilt’s School of Engineering about how Vanderbilt is designing and marketing brand new graduate programs like their Master’s in Cyber Physical Systems (think “Alexa” and “the internet of things”) and their Master’s in Risk, Reliability, and Resilience (think “engineering solutions and systems to respond more sustainably after a hurricane hits”!). - - - -

September 26, 2019 Episode 14: Attracting Students to Biomedical Sciences PhD Programs — A Faculty’s Perspective on the Opportunities and Challenges that Exist in Recruiting for Niche Programs
At most institutions, the graduate admissions staff is responsible for student recruitment and faculty members, if involved in the recruitment process at all, typically handle admissions interviews with top candidates. At Baylor College of Medicine, it works differently. On this week’s episode of the Enrollify Podcast we feature an interview with Dr. Fredrick (Fred) Pereira, the Director for the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences. Dr. Pereira shares insights into the importance of faculty involvement in the PhD student recruitment process and offers ideas on how to recruit both domestic and international students for really niche programs. Dr. Pereira believes that as institutions restructure and consolidate resources, more and more faculty members will be asked to play a more “hands on” role in engaging with prospective students. - - - -

September 17, 2019 Episode 13: From Admissions Counselor to University President — Lessons Learned from 30+ Years in Higher Education
It’s not often that an admissions counselor at small university works his way up the ladder to become a university president — but Dr. Chris Domes did just that. On this week’s episode of the Enrollify Podcast, Dr. Domes shares lessons he learned during his early years at St. Bonaventure, leadership insights he garnered during his time as Vice President for Student Development and Enrollment Management at Marymount, and the story of why he decided to become a university president.

Furthermore, Dr. Domes shares advice on how enrollment managers can work more closely with university leadership to meet the wider goals of the institution, and how to breakdown silos to ensure a fantastic experience for students. Dr. Domes believes that presidential leadership "requires reflective and thoughtful communication, followed by mission-centered decision-making and coupled with a high level of transparency. - - - -
