Dear Jaime is Volt’s regular advice column from Jaime Hunt, our columnist and a higher ed marketing pro. To send her a question you’d like answered (anonymous or signed, you decide!), you can email her at dearjaime@voltedu.com or send her a message on LinkedIn.

Today’s video column tackles two questions, the first about authentic, non-performative inclusive marketing and the second about implementing a new project management tool in a team that is strongly resistant to change.
