All parents want what is best for their child, but they may not know that the pathway to economic and career success has shifted.

In this train-the-trainer session, Dr. Fleming will share effective messaging strategies, resources, and tangible action steps proven to help students and parents understand the value and power of your programs as well as the competitive advantage they'll secure after commencement.

CHERYL BROOM
CEO, Graduate Communications

Join former community college PIO, and Graduate Communications Founder and CEO, Cheryl Broom, for a deep dive into how the art of online dating can teach educational institutions to better tell their stories, make good on their promises, and help prospective students find true love.
MASTERCLASS:
Marketing Plans that Truly Target Your Audience
DR. PAM COX OTTO
CEO, Interact
Most Marketing plans are sad, single-focus activities that ignore personas, create a single one-size-fits-all message that resonates with some and not others and is focused on getting you through THIS semester.
Discover the magic of 18-month, multi-targeted, multi-messaged planning that allows you to get ahead of the curve and respond to market shifts instead of scrambling for survival.

Cultural Transformation: Recruiting and Marketing Diverse Students
JUSTIN “MR. FASCINATE” SHAIFER
Linkedin Top Voice in Technology, Science TV Show Host & STEM Educator
In his popular TEDx talk, “How to Speak Generation Z,” Justin “Mr. Fascinate” Shaifer taught audiences how to effectively engage a generation who grew up with iPads and smartphones in their hands.
