Arina joins Dustin to share her perspective on how institutions can better lay out pathways from work to college and vice versa. She has examined the landscape thoroughly to find several gaps in how organizations work to support learners who have earned the increasingly complex world of microcredentials.Guest Name: Arina Berezovsky, CEO and Co-Founder of Let Me GraduateGuest Social Handle: LinkedInGuest Bio: Arina Berezovsky earned her Bachelor’s degree from Excelsior College where she was able to earn credit for the majority of her prior coursework thanks to Excelsior’s flexible transfer credit policy. It was during this process that she first learned about the American Council on Education (ACE) and various other innovative organizations working towards ensuring students are recognized for the skills and competencies they acquire both inside and outside the classroom. Arina has since been involved in various efforts to map the learning opportunities ecosystem in a push to increase access to higher education for students for whom synchronous, in-person content delivery may be a barrier.

This special live episode of the podcast was recorded on stage at SXSW EDU 2023 in Austin, Texas. The panelists included Matt Tower, Ciara Hamagishi, and Kelvin Bentley and they discussed strategies for institutions to intentionally balance their limited resources between physical assets and digital infrastructure. The full session description is below:“Higher ed institutions continue to face headwinds due to enrollment declines, so limited resources must be deployed intentionally. The solution is to “right size” the different components of the institution to adapt to a constantly changing landscape. This takes the shape of things such as converting computer labs into esports arenas, integrating chatbots, and the metaverse. The result is that increasingly hybrid students are digitally engaged while optimizing the expertise of faculty and staff.” This episode is brought to you by our friends at DD Agency:DD Agency is a higher ed-specific marketing technology agency that has conducted countless SEO Audits for colleges and universities across the country. In these audits, they detail where you currently rank, what you could be ranking for, exactly how copy should be tweaked on website pages, and much more. If this sounds like something you could benefit from, give those folks a ping and be sure to mention that Enrollify sent you to claim a 10% discount on any of their SEO offerings. Head on over to enrollify.org/ddaseo, or simply follow the link in the show notes below…that will guarantee you get a 10% discount off of your audit.  About the Enrollify Podcast Network The Higher Ed Geek is a part of the Enrollify Podcast Network.
