This Fall Season of The Higher Ed Marketer Podcast is proudly sponsored by NextGrad.

Great enrollment leaders don't develop by accident. Somewhere along the way, someone invests in them, challenges them, and gives them an opportunity to grow.

After 40 years at Biola University, Greg Vaughan knows what it takes to develop the people who will lead enrollment teams into the future. Now leading NACCAP's Leadership Development for Enrollment Professionals (LDEP) program, Greg shares why ongoing coaching matters, how to recognize and retain promising talent, and why giving someone a chance to step beyond their comfort zone might be the most important investment a leader can make.
