About the Episode

The what's what...

There has been A LOT of buzz in Higher Ed about assessments - esp in the past decade. And, if we think about it, assessments of the past are really viewed in a way that AI is currently viewed.  It was predictive, it was a measure of engagement, it was a qualifier. 

So the question remains, how are assessment companies adapting to a new world of technology? Or more aptly, how is a company like ETS - a 75-year old juggernaut research firm -  transforming its products and its approach in order to create a more frictionless process, through CRM technology, for institutions and enrollment managers?

In this episode, Jamie sits down with Jack Klett to explore the approach that ETS is taking to stay relevant AND push beyond how assessments are normally viewed. Listen up to hear more about how GEM professionals can use the tools from ETS, along with their CRM, to better understand a fuller picture of prospective audiences and ways to support those students!
