Traditional banks often lack personalized service, and local businesses struggle to find true partnership in financial institutions. Meanwhile, higher education faces scrutiny over relevance and ROI in a world where information is nearly free. Harry Allen helped launch Studio Bank to blend technology with high-touch service, fueled by community investment. At Belmont, he's applying the same entrepreneurial mindset to modernize university operations and embed practical learning experiences, like a one-of-a-kind partnership with Dolly Parton, into academia. In this episode, Harry L. Allen, co-founder of Studio Bank and now CFO at Belmont University, unpacks the bold vision behind launching a community-first bank in a city dominated by financial giants. He shares the leadership lessons that shaped his journey, how to lead through crisis, and why mentorship is the key to filling today's leadership vacuum. Key Takeaways Leveraging both financial and social capital creates a unique, community-first banking model. High-tech doesn't mean low-touch, Studio Bank fused innovation with personal relationships. Leadership means showing up, especially during crisis. Universities must shift from being information hubs to delivering real-world experience. Succession and mentorship are vital to cultivating the next generation of leaders. Chapters 00:00 Introduction to Harry L.

For years, colleges have been navigating technological change. Many institutions today KNOW they need to embrace new technology, but they remain tightly gripped to familiar processes. In this conversation, Adam Park, the CEO of Softdoc, gives candid insight into why this happens. It's not just about resistance to change – it's deeper than that. It's about institutional trauma from past failed projects, about departments that have weathered storms together and developed protective instincts, and about leaders who carry the weight of their institutions' futures on their shoulders.

Why Colleges Get Retention Wrong: A Radical Rethink with Katie Condon, VP of Enrollment at Eastern Michigan 41:01

منذ 12 يومًا41:01

41:01

If your institution treats student recruitment separately from retention, you’re missing a critical connection. On this episode of The Vinedown , Emily Smith speaks with Katie Condon , Vice President of Enrollment Management at Eastern Michigan University. Katie draws from her own experiences as a first-generation college student to explain why student retention begins from the very first interaction with recruitment, and why that matters deeply to the health of any institution. Katie shares powerful personal insights and data-driven approaches for colleges aiming to improve student success, address internal campus silos, and better prepare students for life after college. She also provides a candid exploration of the “Glass Cliff” phenomenon and how it uniquely impacts women in enrollment leadership. In this episode, you’ll discover: Why Katie believes recruitment equals retention, illustrated through her personal story of experiencing rejection and alienation as a first-generation student. How every interaction matters: from faculty comments to dorm conditions, seemingly small experiences have major impacts on student retention. Effective strategies for breaking down silos across departments to improve student outcomes—starting with a clear, unified vision for student experiences. The hidden challenges of the “Glass Cliff”—how women in leadership roles are often asked to achieve more with fewer resources and higher stakes, setting them up for disproportionate failure risks. Preparing students for the real world: why higher education often fails to prepare students adequately for non-academic careers, and what colleges should do instead (including meaningful career prep and skill-building like AI literacy). Practical ways enrollment managers can better understand students, including student-focused data collection and proactive campus engagement. Katie’s thoughtful discussion emphasizes practical actions colleges can take right now to boost both recruitment and retention, while genuinely serving students’ best interests. Listen now for an honest, actionable conversation on enrollment management’s most pressing issues.…

Enrollment leaders, listen up—it’s time to confront an uncomfortable truth: colleges stuck in old models of recruitment and data management risk falling dangerously behind. In this eye-opening episode, Emily Smith sits down with David Burge, VP of Enrollment Management at George Mason University, to unpack the critical issues facing higher education enrollment today. From the limitations of traditional selectivity metrics, to the hidden potential of transfer and community college populations, David argues it’s time for a fundamental rethink of how enrollment offices use data to shape their futures. They discuss: - Why colleges overly dependent on freshman admissions alone are facing a difficult decade ahead - How widening the funnel to embrace transfer students and non-traditional populations can unlock entirely new enrollment pathways - The critical difference between having data and effectively using it to drive decision-making - The dangers posed by a potential dismantling of the Department of Education’s data infrastructure, and how institutions might cope - Actionable advice to embed genuine data fluency across your team—regardless of your current resources or skill level If you’re serious about future-proofing your enrollment strategy, building a truly data-informed culture, and identifying overlooked talent pools, this conversation is your essential guide.
