Higher Education and the New Administration

We are once again at an inflection point where there is much debate about the future of American higher education. From coast to coast, large public university to small private college, no institution is immune to the implications of the pandemic. For what was already a system on the brink, the public health, social and economic fallout of 2020 has moved the speedometer on the evolution of higher education from a slow crawl to a speedy snail’s pace. What does the next iteration of higher education look like in America? The Buzz Crew is back for a round-robin tackling this issue and other happenings in the world of higher ed.

The Slow Crawl – Evolving the Higher Ed Service Model

Colleges and universities across the country spent 2020 reacting to ever-changing conditions. The response was a period of innovation focused on fulfilling the mission of the institution, albeit online and remote. In a year when even the best laid plans were derailed, we turn forward. 2021 brings with it the promise of restoration; returning to our strategic planning; bringing with us some new tricks; and focusing efforts on even greater innovation as we plan for the “Next Normal.” I’m Jack Klett, Capture’s Director of Graduate &amp; Online Initiatives filling in for Amanda Scott who usually has our hosting duties. As usual, I am joined by my Buzz Crew colleagues Kevin Bauman and Jamie Gleason. For this special episode of the Buzz, we are joined by accomplished professionals within enrollment management and advancement. Tim Whittum is Assistant Vice President of University College of Southern New Hampshire University; Julie Zulewski serves as Dean of Enrollment at Daemen College; and Chandler Vandenberg is Director of Development for Major Gifts at The University of Texas at Austin

Innovation and Restoration

The demands on college and university staff are significant during the pandemic. Most institutions still have faculty and staff at home in a remote working capacity. Adding to the workload is the anxiety and stress of the uncertainty about the upcoming fall term.

They share tips to destress your teams, and to destress yourself. New student search strategies are also covered as part of your peak behind the curtain.

Enrollment management, at its core, is a prediction business. Annually, thousands of admissions officers polish off the crystal ball and project what the enrollment future holds for their institutions. Yogi Berra often quipped that “The future isn’t what it used to be” and no where is that truer than in higher education enrollment predictions. Thom and Brad walk through the primary ways the enrollment prediction industry has missed the mark through antiquated methodology and folk theory. Modern machine learning techniques require a new mindset about how we as professionals think about our future. What can The Farmer’s Almanac, Ron Popeil’s rotisserie chickens, and Uber teach us about enrollment predictions? Pull up a barstool and join the conversation.

The 2020 Election and its Impact on College Affordability

Human beings, as Dan Ariely wrote, are predictably irrational - and yes, that includes enrollment managers. From recruitment event feedback forms (good to meet you sampling bias), to predictive models (hello false causality), and all those early deposit incentives that only seem to encourage enrollment melt (good day Cobra Effect). If you have ever said this of your favorite slumping athlete: “(s)he’s due,” then you might be human, and thus subject to data fallacies. In this episode of The Weightlist, Thom and Brad list the 4 biggest data fallacies in enrollment management and how to avoid them. Along the way of course is beer and all the reasons you’ll ever need to eat that dessert first.

Episode 22 - From Admissions Counselor to Data Scientist with Infinite Campus' Dan Jarratt, Part One

Ken Anselment

Take a look at an application from your institution from 10 years ago. How different is it from your current app? In many ways, the application and the processes around it have change dramatically over the past decades, but the centrality and importance of the application itself has changed very little. Why is that? Why is the application really so important in a world that is constantly looking for ways to simplify like processes? Is it simply there to gather information, or is it a kind of filter for less interested students. And what would it look like to blow the whole scheme up? Ken Anselment, Dean of Admissions and Financial Aid at Lawrence University grabs a beer with Thom and Brad to discuss. Apologies for some of the feedback echoes in the audio, trust us, we tried everything!

Resolutions and Revelations (with Steve Huey)

How do you recruit in new markets using predictive models that are built on your enrollment history?  If you have never enrolled a student from a particular market how can a “rear facing” prediction still apply.  In this episode, Thom and Brad tackle a listener submitted question that is especially important in the always evolving field of enrollment management.  Come on in, grab a bar stool, and join the conversation.

Episode 7 - Driving in the Rear View: Predicting Success in New Student Markets

George Kirkland

What happens when a young start-up rethinks the decades old practice of a lump sum approach to awarding financial aid? On The Weightlist this week we chat with George Kirkland, Co-Founder of Raise.me, a company that invented the concept of micro-scholarships and in so doing, has turned the financial aid industry on its head. What is the role of companies like Raise in fostering innovation in higher ed, how can data be used to promote equitable access, and what is the psychology behind mass discounting? Along the way, Thom and Brad discuss the latest in Prior-Prior Year FAFSA completions, educational attainment, and where are all the jet packs we were promised by now.

Episode 6 - Interview with George Kirkland Co-Founder of Raise.me

Ozan Jaquette

For universities, there exists a tension in the space between living an institutional mission and funding that mission. Ozan Jaquette is an Assistant Professor at the UCLA Graduate School of Education &amp; Information Studies and is fascinated by the often curious organizational behavior of colleges and universities as they attempt to balance revenue generation, prestige accumulation, and the public trust. Professor Jaquette is an emerging voice in higher education, committed to holding universities accountable to “walk the walk” on funding college access. On this episode of The Weightlist, Thom and Brad discuss the tradeoffs universities sometimes make in broadening access to higher education including the recruitment of high income or out-of-state students to “pay” for higher need and in-state students.

For universities, there exists a tension in the space between living an institutional mission and funding that mission. Ozan Jaquette is an Assistant Professor at the UCLA Graduate School of Education &amp; Information Studies and is fascinated by the often curious organizational behavior of colleges and universities as they attempt to balance revenue generation, prestige accumulation, and the public trust. Professor Jaquette is an emerging voice in higher education, committed to holding universities accountable to “walk the walk” on funding college access. On this episode of The Weightlist, Thom and Brad discuss the tradeoffs universities sometimes make in broadening access to higher education including the recruitment of high income or out-of-state students to “pay” for higher need and in-state students.

In this episode of The Weightlist, Thom and Brad walk through how multi-channel marketing attribution has evolved in the online retailing and marketing space and what strategic enrollment management can learn from it.
