Quotes from Nate
“The opportunity for universities to expand their mission is a powerful force in our society. I want to see higher education thrive. As universities respond to changing demographics, graduate and online opportunities have become essential. The institutions that can craft partnerships to expand their reach will thrive.”
“At the top of the funnel, institutions need the best tools to find interested students and to target audiences through key things like SEO and search. But expansion doesn’t stop there. It requires quality market research, academic program/instructional design, and excellent delivery of online programs. It’s hard to do this alone, and we have leaders who are passionate about the student experience ready to help.”
