| 1/5/26 | How to Support Military Students Beyond Admissions | EAB’s Beth Donaldson is joined by Sydney Mathes of Service to School to explore what authentic institutional commitment to military-connected students really looks like. They discuss common misconceptions, the importance of wraparound services, and why admissions should be viewed as the starting line—not the finish line—for military student success. The conversation closes with practical advice for university leaders looking to serve this important population more effectively. | 32m 25s | ||||||
| 12/16/25 | How the U. of MT is Engaging and Supporting Stop-Outs | EAB’s Ed Venit sits down with Brian Reed from the University of Montana to discuss how his team is supporting students who started college but left before completing a bachelor’s degree. Dr. Reed shares how Montana retroactively awards associate degrees where possible, giving former students a meaningful credential that can improve their earning potential and, in many cases, motivate them to return and finish their studies. Ed and Brian also offer practical guidance for campus leaders seeking to build more effective pathways to completion. | 31m 43s | ||||||
| 12/1/25 | How NEON Is Transforming College Access | This week on Office Hours with EAB, we sit down with the National Education Opportunity Network (NEON) to discuss the innovative work they’re doing to expand college access for students in Title I high schools. NEON’s model brings college-credit courses and academic support directly into classrooms through a coordinated team of university faculty, teaching fellows, and high school educators. We explore how this approach strengthens the transition to college, boosts enrollment and persistence, and why a growing number of universities are joining the effort. | 27m 42s | ||||||
| 11/17/25 | How Industry Partnerships Fuel Growth at Wichita State | Wichita State University President Richard Muma joins EAB’s Sally Amoruso to share how the university’s deep partnerships with private industry define the student experience and fuel regional growth. From embedding students with local companies on day one to building an innovation campus that anchors nearly 50 businesses, Wichita State is redefining what it means to be a public research university. Dr. Muma discusses how this “applied learning” model not only prepares students for the workforce but also makes the city of Wichita a hub for talent, innovation, and opportunity. | 36m 56s | ||||||
| 10/31/25 | How Loan Reform Will Redefine Graduate Education | EAB’s Amy Luitjens and Brett Schraeder discuss the end of Grad PLUS loans and the new cap on Federal Direct loans. The two break down what these shifts mean for student borrowing. They also share practical tips for graduate enrollment leaders and financial aid strategists on how to prepare for the changes ahead. | 35m 13s | ||||||
| 10/21/25 | How to Optimize Web Content for AI-Powered Search | EAB’s Meghan Ondrish and JP Lafors review ways that AI-enabled search is reshaping the way digital teams create and structure content for .edu websites. Meghan and JP discuss how institutions should adapt search engine optimization to ensure their web content remains visible and prominent as search behaviors evolve. The two also explain the metrics that matter most when assessing how prospective applicants interact with your institution online. | 26m 41s | ||||||
| 10/6/25 | Are Grad Schools Entering Survival Mode? | EAB’s Beth Donaldson and Todd Heilman examine ways that graduate admissions leaders are adjusting to the steep drop in foreign enrollments. The two suggest strategies designed to strengthen domestic student recruitment, differentiate your institution from competitors, and contend with the giants of online graduate education. | 35m 31s | ||||||
