For years, higher education has been preparing for the enrollment cliff. Now that it's here, what does it actually mean for colleges and universities, and what comes next?
In this live webinar, higher education marketing strategist Carrie Phillips will explore how the enrollment landscape has evolved since the enrollment cliff first became a major concern. She'll examine the demographic, geographic, and behavioral shifts reshaping higher education, as well as the growing importance of institutional value and strategic marketing in an increasingly competitive environment.
Carrie will be joined by Kat Liendgens, CEO of Hannon Hill, for a live discussion on how institutions can adapt and position themselves for long-term success.
We'll explore topics including:
- Why the enrollment cliff is better understood as a long-term demographic decline
- How geographic differences are creating unique enrollment challenges and opportunities
- Why participation trends matter just as much as population trends
- How students' perceptions of value are influencing enrollment decisions
- Why marketing has become a critical strategic advantage for colleges and universities
- Practical ways institutions can respond to today's enrollment realities with confidence
You'll leave with a clearer understanding of the forces driving enrollment change and practical insights to help your institution strengthen its recruitment and marketing strategy for the years ahead.
