Ep. 7 Virtual Engagement For Students // Higher Ed Demand Gen - Ethan Penland

In this episode, Ethan details how over the last ten years there has been a shift in the recruitment process which tends to treat students as numbers rather than names, and how this has created a less individualized and engaging experience throughout the recruitment process. Ethan explains how Virtual Engagement is and will continue to be a vital tool in the student recruitment process as it serves as the first point of contact for students, allows institutions to begin meaningful conversations, and is a more accessible opportunity than campus visits. He provides some great statistics to show how virtual engagement has been very beneficial for helping serve underrepresented groups and can be a gateway for achieving diversity goals within student recruitment.
