Podcast Summary

Dr. Drumm McNaughton interviews Jim Bouse, Cirector for Enrollment Technology at the University of Oregon and former board chair of AACRAO, about using a holistic approach to enrollment management, especially in light of the enrollment cliff and the pandemic.

Podcast Highlights

• Higher education is dealing with an accelerated rate of change because of the enrollment cliff and the pandemic. Therefore, it’s important for institutions to be clear about their purpose.
• Parents and students today are asking hard questions about the value of higher education. Is the cost worth it? How indebted will they be? Will a degree prepare students to be successful in a rapidly changing world?
• Strategic enrollment management requires a holistic approach where efforts are aligned across the institution. This creates a synergy that enables the institution to understand its mission, the type of student they are recruiting, the programs that it is offering, and the quality of the educational experience.
