About this episode
In the premiere episode of First Movers, a new Pulse Check series by Enrollify in partnership with Everspring, co-hosts Rhea Vitalis and Andrea Gilbert sit down with Dave Hunt, Director of Enrollment Marketing at the University of Kansas. The episode explores how the KU enrollment team is responding to the massive shifts in student behavior brought on by AI-driven search, stealth applicants, and the collapsing marketing funnel. Hunt shares practical strategies on content differentiation, leveraging AI for operational efficiency, and how to rethink SEO to stay discoverable and drive enrollment in a rapidly evolving landscape.
