This is probably my umpteenth blog on campus photography, but as a creative, it is truly one of my soapboxes. Or perhaps I should say apple boxes. Picture this…an institution with a lively campus – it’s a place to be. Students creating a dynamic campus experience through events and traditions and the burgeoning spring and…
How many times during last year’s recruiting cycle were you asked: “Are you reaching goal?” “What are your numbers?” “Are you going to meet your enrollment projections?” When you’re Vice President for Enrollment or the Director or Admissions, or really any member of the Admissions team, you probably get these questions every day. And these…
Answering the questions “What are your numbers?,” “What are you doing differently this year?,” “What new strategies are you trying to generate interest?” year after year can leave you feeling a little drained. I know. I’ve been there. As a former Vice President of Enrollment Management and H·A ThirtyOne client, I always looked forward to receiving…
In less than two weeks, we will gather with a small group of our talented colleagues, talk challenges and seek opportunities, explore best practices and find camaraderie and (hopefully) humor. As a former client and 3 time Ideastorm attendee, I can vouch for the authenticity of the exchanges held on this day and energizing nature…

Before you head out the door… The weekend is almost here. And yes, I’m about to head out the door. Hopefully, you are, too. But this weekend I’m headed out the door to the annual SACAC conference, to be held in Birmingham, AL. You can find H·A ThirtyOne presenting during the pre-conference sessions and during…
Let me get straight to the point. It’s spring on your campus, or will be very soon. Now is the time you need to be shooting pictures to build and supplement your image library. “Wait!” you think. “We are taking pictures all the time, of events and groups and things happening on campus.” And you…
Ideastormers! That was the rallying cry for our event last week, the 2nd Annual Ideastorm Summit. The session, held on the campus of Elon University in North Carolina (thanks again for hosting, Elon), brought together 14 different institutions and 25 enrollment leaders for a full day of rich idea exchange, discussion, trend reviews, and…
This blog comes to you fresh from Concourse B at Chicago’s Midway airport after having spent the last three days at the ACT Enrollment Planners Conference. It was a great conference, and if you didn’t get to attend, I can recommend it as one of the best for enrollment planning. However, I suspect many enrollment…
