About the Episode

Higher education is at an inflection point"Śschools need to lean into their difference today or risk not being around tomorrow.  And in order for the development, solidification, and subsequent promotion of this difference to happen, they need enrollment marketing professionals who are equipped with the necessary skillsets and experience.

On this week's episode, we chat with Steve Schuetz, who has had quite a career in all things higher ed - from working as a director of financial aid to working in enrollment management consulting to serving as an interim cabinet member at a university.

Steve shares lessons, stories, and advice he garnered throughout his career and offers a framework for how to know if/when it's time to pursue your next gig in the great higher ed career ecosystem.
