DEI — diversity, equity, and inclusion — is top-of-mind across marketing channels, not just higher education. That’s because as Gen Z starts to leave school and filter into the workforce, they’re leading the charge of reshaping our culture through a lens of empathy.

Gabrielle believes finding the pulse of your audience’s feelings and pursuing lifelong learning are key to nailing your higher ed marketing strategy.
