Universities are huge entities that require more than just student enrollment to help them thrive and grow. They require loyalty, support, and investment from the students who attend, their families, employees, stakeholders, and supporters. So, how do universities craft thoughtful stories that encourage these qualities in their communities, encouraging students to attend while retaining their current ones? Through creative PR efforts. Join us for a dynamic panel of University PR professionals—Stacy Walsh, Samantha Lane, and Shelia Skipper Guzmán—as they dive into how they use PR to share their university’s mission and successes to drive enrollment and retention.
