Millennials are less likely to join membership organizations than older generations. While they cite the same top reasons for joining as older members, such as networking and quality content, the importance of these reasons is weaker for Millennials. Millennials renew memberships when they feel a sense of community connection. Non-members do not join due to never being invited. Millennials are less engaged with organizations than older members by attending fewer events and reading publications less frequently. All generations highly value peer-reviewed journals, but non-member Millennials prefer continuing education resources more. Younger generations want greater engagement from organizations and have lower satisfaction levels the newer the generation.

Digital academy: User Research | March 2019HarvardComms
https://hwpi.harvard.edu/digital-content-connect
As communication professionals at Harvard, we are always crafting our messaging with a certain audience in mind. But how do we learn more about our audience, and how can we be sure that our messaging meets their specific needs, especially in this ever-expanding digital landscape?
Our Spring Digital Academy event focused on user research. We heard about several methods that digital and content strategists use to learn more about our audiences, from persona development and survey research to usability studies and decision analysis.
Speakers included top digital practitioners from Harvard and outside experts with experience in digital media and marketing, tech and public policy, and higher education strategy and consulting.
Lee Rainie, Director of the Pew Research Center Internet Project, shows how the large, loosely knit social circles of networked individuals expand opportunities for learning, problem solving, decision making, and personal interaction. The new social operating system of “networked individualism” requires us to develop networking skills and strategies, work on maintaining ties, and balance multiple overlapping networks. The “triple revolution” that has brought on this transformation: the rise of social networking, the capacity of the Internet to empower individuals, and the always-on connectivity of mobile devices. Drawing on extensive evidence, Rainie examines how the move to networked individualism has driven changes in organizational structure, job performance criteria, and the way people interact in workplaces. He presents a glimpse of the new networked enterprise and way of working.
Digging Deeper Into Donor Preferences | AFPFC 2016Abila
At the 2015 AFP International Fundraising Conference, Abila debuted its Donor Engagement Study, diving into the disconnect between nonprofit best practices and donor preferences. We wanted to take that study one step further with our 2016 Donor Engagement Study, digging deeper into donor engagement preferences specifically around content, recognition, events, and volunteering. This session was a special sneak preview of the results, where we shared key findings and insights into how donors want to be engaged and what activities nonprofits are doing that drive them away.

OK. We are past the May 1 "finish line" and now have a good (or somewhat good) handle on what our class looks like for the fall ... Except there are a few issues:
Summer Melt will still happen
We need to fill upper-level courses with transfer students because of retention issues
The President decided she actually wants 20 more students than we had originally planned
Do any of these sound familiar? It's most likely that if you are not "in the top 1% of institutions" you are dealing with one if not all of these challenges (or others!) as you try to shift gears to 2018 but are still on the hook for 2017.
How do enrollment managers find that balance between long-term strategy and just bringing in their class? This webinar will provide some insights and suggestions for bridging short-term enrollment gaps while not sacrificing long-term strategic planning.
