Season: Season 1

Eric Page is joined by Ericka Mathews-Jackson (Wayne State University), Bob Stewart (Jacksonville University), Adam Stoltz (University of Idaho), and Tony Sarda (St. Mary’s University (TX)) to discuss delayed college search cycles for the Class of 2021, mental health and professional development, and politics in higher education.

Eric welcomes enrollment leaders Jennielle Strother, Mitch Warren, Mateo Remsburg, and Jacob Browne to discuss the “test optional” movement, recruitment of the Class of 2021, leadership and change management, and NACAC conference memories.

This episode dives deeper into the psyche of graduate students and how that has changed over the past six months during the COVID-19 pandemic. The group also discusses how graduate education can be delivered during the pandemic and how schools have approached creating scenario-based contingency plans for both in-person and online delivery for Fall 2020. Later, the group explores if the pandemic’s unprecedented cycle has permanently altered graduate education, creating a new normal for graduate enrollment and recruitment strategies.

Eric Page is joined by Lori Greene (Butler University), Gareth Fowles (Lynn University), Ellen Johnson (The College of St. Scholastica), and Jennifer Lonchar (Carnegie) to discuss returning to campus, gearing up for fall recruitment and “travel season,” and International student recruitment and retention.

Eric Page is joined by Heather Daniels (Colorado State University), Kent Barnds (Augustana College), Todd Rinehart (University of Denver), and Darryl Jones (Gettysburg College) to discuss the continued impact of COVID-19 on admission and recruitment, higher education’s role in racial equity and social progress, Admissions as a career, and work and life in quarantine.
