Description

Welcome to undeclared, the podcast that explores many of the challenges facing Higher Education across the United States. Allison Lanier and Scott Fogleman will bring you conversations and interviews with many of today’s higher ed leaders. We will explore case studies describing what works, what doesn’t, and offer insights into why. We will introduce research on trends and habits subjects such as Gen Z and today’s prospective students and ultimately offer our listeners a platform to learn how they too can drive impact and change for their own institutions.  

Higher education as a whole is faced with a multitude of challenges. Some of these challenges include budget constraints and cuts, lack of awareness, decreasing enrollment, declining prospective student populations in many parts of our country, internal resource allocations are becoming slim or even non-existent, the ongoing debates around higher ed’s ROI, more competition from non-traditional programs and degree options, not to mention the changing student landscape as a whole.  

One reason that compelled the launch of this podcast is our true passion to help colleges and universities present their brand in an authentic, and meaningful way. By doing so we can help ensure that every student knows that they are at the perfect institution for them and that is really what we are all about.

This podcast is for anyone within the higher education space that wants to learn, individuals who want to better understand where their institution has potential in the marketplace right now, and what they can do to continually move it forward in a positive direction. It is for listeners who lead universities and educational programs that need to cultivate a vision for their institution. It is also for those who want to challenge where they are today so they can become their best versions for tomorrow.  We know that education is critical for everyone to become the best version of themselves. As we all know, an educated planet is a better place for everyone.
