As the lifeline that was COVID-19 relief funding runs dry, there is a spate of closure and near-closure announcements. This conversation, with Gary Stocker from College Viability, LLC is critical. Those of us who are or have worked at institutions where the enrollment targets were necessary for institutional survival need to find opportunities within yield. No matter what a list vendor tells you: there are no more magic leads waiting for you to sign on. There are no magic beans. As we get closer to "the cliff" - finding ways to be smarter and grittier in your approach to yield is critical, and will be the difference between some colleges staying open, and some closing. *** This is a free webinar, and registration is currently open *** (Hat tip to institutions who have announced closures in 2024 despite heroic efforts: Fontbonne University - St. John's University - Hodges University - Oak Point University - Magdalen College of the Liberal Arts - Notre Dame College - The College of Saint Rose - Birmingham-Southern College - Cabrini University - Johnson University - Goddard College. This list doesn't even include the 7 institutions who have merged into other institutions.)

The message is not always pretty, but it should be heard by college leaders, faculty, staff, and community stakeholders. It is the economic laws of supply and demand that are driving closures and consolidations. There are not programmatic and marketing changes that will alter that basic economic law. I will share with Teege Mettille and enroll ml and their audience the considerations that are important in managing the future of public and private colleges. #collegeviability #cvapp

Enrollment closes THIS SATURDAY for Jac Mullen's seminar on the perils and contradictions of raising the next generation amid cascading attentional threats: The GREAT REWIRING of PARENTHOOD: ATTENTION, TECH, and the FUTURE of CHILD-REARING Classes on Wednesdays, 6:45 - 9:15pm May 29th - Jun 12th 55 Washington St, Ste 736 Dumbo, Brooklyn We will explore unresolved questions around the use of attention capture technologies in child-rearing (Are attention-capture technologies harmful to children? What does it mean to have a “healthy” relationship to addictive technology?) and the transformation of child-rearing from a collective endeavor to a largely individualized consumer pursuit. This course is not just for parents/guardians (or even just for those who work with children), but is rather designed for, and open to, anyone interested in the special problems of person formation, intergenerational transmission, critical accounts of the nuclear family, and social reproduction in our current moment. Tuition is sliding-scale; waiver scholarships available by application. https://lnkd.in/eBUbRDgJ

At Metro State University, we understand that the cost of college and career training can be a barrier for many students. Completing the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) is essential for students to qualify for federal, state, and institutional funds. Here's why completing the FAFSA is worth it: 🔷 It opens the door to grants and scholarships that you don’t have to repay. 🔷 You can become eligible for work-study programs, allowing you to earn money while you pursue your degree and gain valuable work experience. 🔷 It helps you access additional state and institutional financial aid that can ease the burden of tuition costs. For more information on the FAFSA, visit https://studentaid.gov/ You can also check out 2024-25 FAFSA Frequently Asked Questions here: https://lnkd.in/gyQdz82j
