Why did we choose to explore the topic of careers? Because once it seemed you either worked inside the academy, or you were outside of higher ed. Now we see, with increasing frequency, talented individuals taking (and leaving) positions on either side of the fence and expanding their searches. But if you have always worked…
Our June episode of 31Minutes, “Moving Beyond Logos to the Heart of the Brand,” features a content-rich discussion with Elon University’s Vice President for Enrollment, Greg Zaiser. Greg joined us to talk about how his institution transformed itself into one of the preeminent schools in the country, in no small part by employing successful, campus-wide brand…
Cutting together the May episode of 31Minutes gave me an earworm of the song “Just Breathe” (the Faith Hill one), but TV’s “One Day at a Time” theme would fit much better (the 70s version). Our guests’ thoughts and advice about May 1 in the world of college admissions, in part, echoed these lyrics: “This…
How does one go about making waves in the ever-widening sea of sameness? And how do we avoid being different just for difference’s sake? In this month’s episode of our 31Minutes podcast Karyn Adams and I chat with Ginger Hansen, H·A ThirtyOne’s Director of Enrollment Solutions. Ginger is heading to Atlanta this weekend to unveil The…
A fun and enlightening conversation with Liz Gross from Campus Sonar #31MinutesPodcast If you’ve read my blogs before, or we’ve had the pleasure of working together, you know I love to share.

31Minutes of Your Time: Introducing H·A ThirtyOne’s monthly podcast for sharing the best ideas to inspire higher ed communicators and leaders In lieu of a #whoshareswins post—or perhaps as the meta #whoshareswins—we are thrilled to unleash our first episode of H·A ThirtyOne’s newest content nugget, the 31Minutes podcast! Karyn Adams (H·A ThirtyOne’s Principal and Creative…
H·A ThirtyOne’s #whoshareswins posts are all about spreading the word about good things, no matter how far afield from our higher ed focus they may at first seem to be. There’s typically a dose of serendipity that, as the idea keeps coming back to us, pieces start to fall into place and before we know…
Most laypersons and even many faculty and staff members don’t realize we are smack dab in the middle of what is known as Reading Season. Those early acceptance packets sent out by your admissions team before holiday break are one thing. They are usually the “easy” decisions of very high performing students who exceed every…
“Who Shares Wins” is a concept we all “get” at some level. It isn’t a new concept or a newly minted phrase, but the sentiment is unwavering. I feel like talking about the value of sharing is a great way to launch the new year…one which will be filled with planned and unexpected surprises, another…
