2 - Future-proofing International Enrollment Management

Prior to the AIRC Panel discussion on Future Proofing International Enrollment Management, Gjergj and Sam met to discuss what it really means on Sorry, No Budget, a HigherEd...ish podcast. Check it out, it's pretty good! The more we can make education accessible to international students in all corners of the globe, the more people can experience internationalization in ways they never new before. Let's seek peace rather than wallowing in discomfort. Let's seek learning rather than having blinders on to the realities of the world. By making meaningful connections to colleges and universities, especially those outside of the big cities, we will help sustain schools and prosper people in the local communities. Oh, and also a message to the USA Government, please make EVERY degree eligible for the additional years of OPT, not just STEM degrees. We need more historians, philosophers, and artists sharing their culture with us for 3 years!

1 - Put A Damn Shirt On!

In the first episode of "Sorry, no Budget!", Fleisch and G discuss branding in higher education, and the most overlooked (and cost-effective) branding tool a university has; the logo t-shirt.   We talk about why we think this is overlooked and who does it best.   Fleisch opens up about his t-shirt hoarding problem, and G can't get over the fact that Fleisch has a t-shirt hoarding problem ...it got pretty ugly! This is the episode where we throw Washington University of St. Louis under the bus, but we do it because we love WashU.  Other honorable mentions; Mercer College, Shoreline CC, etc. Harvard wanted to get in on this episode, but we ran out of time.
