About the Episode

When Elwood Robinson served as the chancellor of Winston-Salem State University, he saw an opportunity to celebrate the people who work hard to serve students. With the help of Jaime Hunt, host of Enrollify’s “Confessions of a Higher Ed CMO” who led marketing and communications under Robinson, WSSU created a brand ambassador program that started with the employees who had a passion for the university and the students. Robinson visited “I Wanna Work There!” to talk about why it was necessary to make faculty and staff a key part of the ambassador program. Robinson talks about folding employee engagement into the WSSU’s strategic plan, the importance of employee engagement for accreditation efforts, and why Historically Black Colleges and Universities can be models for successful employer branding efforts.
