Listen "Patient Gardening for Rapid Enrollment Growth"
Episode Synopsis
Questions? Feedback? Send us a text!In this episode of TRANSFORMED, Joe speaks with Jeffrey Morin, President of the Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design (MIAD), about how a patient, community-centered approach can drive significant institutional transformation. Drawing parallels between higher ed and perennial gardening, Jeff shares how MIAD has cultivated enrollment growth, boosted student retention, and modernized campus operations—all while remaining fiscally disciplined and true to its values.Listeners will hear how deliberate change management, inclusive curricular reform, and smart, transparent use of technology and data helped MIAD double in size without losing its soul. This conversation offers a thoughtful, human take on how small institutions can grow with purpose and agility in an era of increasing skepticism toward higher ed’s value.References: Jeffrey MorinMIADSubscribe or follow TRANSFORMED wherever you listen, to get the latest episode when it drops and hear directly from leaders and innovators in higher ed tech and digital transformation best practices.Find and follow us on LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/company/higher-digital-inc
