What a difference two years makes. In March, 2020, just days before the world shut down in the face of COVID-19, over 100 higher ed marketers assembled in Lancaster, Pa. to learn from one another at CUPRAP’s annual spring conference.

Two years and one pandemic later, we did the same thing. And while we were there, we sat down with numerous higher ed leaders to discuss just how much higher ed has changed in the last two years.

Check out this selection of those conversations led by Volt’s Kevin Renton, as well as Tom Kegelman, Kate Christensen, and Will Rieth from eCity Interactive (Volt’s parent company) as they find out from CUPRAP participants what’s working, what’s not, and what they think the future of higher education looks like.
