Despite the Patriarchate's cancellation of the deal on Nov. 1, 2023, Israeli surveyors and settlers pushed ahead with their plans to develop the property into a luxury hotel and permanently alter the character and demography of the Old City's Armenian Quarter.

In the Shenandoah Valley, NW Works has quietly transformed lives for 55 years, championing adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities through programs that foster independence, employment, and a sense of belonging. In this episode of The Valley Today, host Janet Michael visits NW Works for a conversation with CEO Skip Philips and Communications Coordinator, Morgan Towle.  This year, the organization marks a milestone: the 10th annual Farm to Table event, a unique fundraiser that has become a beloved tradition for locals and supporters alike. Hosted on the charming Church Street in Middletown, the Farm to Table event is more than just a meal—it's a celebration of community spirit and local bounty. Long tables adorned with linens and fresh flowers stretch beneath the open sky, where guests enjoy a feast crafted from locally sourced ingredients, courtesy of Schaffer's Barbecue and other regional partners. The event offers both general admission and VIP experiences, the latter providing early access, reserved seating, and exclusive tastings, all while connecting attendees with NW Works' leadership and mission. Behind the festivities lies a deeper purpose. Proceeds from Farm to Table help fund NW Works' essential services, from their day program and community garden to workforce training and facility upgrades. Skip and Morgan emphasize that these programs not only build skills and confidence for nearly 250 individuals each year but also create opportunities for meaningful employment and community engagement. The organization's partnerships with local businesses, schools, and nonprofits ensure that clients are supported at every stage, whether they're learning new skills, volunteering, or earning their first paycheck. The event's popularity is a testament to its impact—tickets sell out quickly, and sponsorships from small businesses and individuals alike help make the evening possible. For those unable to attend, NW Works offers the option to sponsor a client's ticket or contribute through donations and volunteerism, reinforcing the message that everyone has something valuable to contribute. As NW Works looks to the future, the Farm to Table event stands as a shining example of what can be achieved when a community comes together to support inclusion, empowerment, and shared success.

In this live episode from HighEdWeb, Mallory Willsea speaks with Shuchita Poddar, Communications Coordinator in the Office of Admissions at the University of Iowa. Shuchita shares her first-time experiences at the HighEdWeb conference and dives into her upcoming presentation on social media analytics. She offers valuable insights on how admissions teams can leverage data to optimize content and engagement across platforms like Instagram, Facebook, and X (formerly Twitter).Key TakeawaysSocial media analytics are crucial for understanding audience engagement and content performance.The engagement rate per post by followers and the engagement rate per post by reach are two essential metrics for evaluating content.User-generated content and campus-related visuals tend to perform best during certain times of the year.Monthly reports that break down metrics into specific categories (e.g., athletics, campus scenes) help inform future content strategies.Don't be afraid of data—it's critical to understanding your content's effectiveness.What is Shuchita's presentation about, and what should attendees expect?Shuchita's presentation at HighEdWeb focuses on social media analytics, specifically how to make the most of the data that admissions teams collect. She encourages social media managers to understand what keeps their audience coming back by focusing on three key areas: gathering user-generated content, leveraging Instagram Reels, and engaging actively with their audience. Since Instagram's algorithm now prioritizes engagement, understanding how to boost it has become crucial for higher ed marketers. This session is a must-attend for anyone wanting to optimize their social media strategies using simple, data-driven steps.How can overwhelmed social media managers stay focused?Shuchita acknowledges that managing social media, especially for admissions, can feel overwhelming, particularly with the sheer number of platforms and tools available today. Her advice? Take a step back and disconnect if needed. It's important to avoid burnout, especially if social media plays a large part in both professional and personal lives. The key is to focus on the metrics that matter most—engagement rate per post by followers and by reach—rather than getting lost in endless data points. By breaking down metrics and focusing on user-generated content, campus visuals, and seasonal trends, marketers can make more informed decisions without feeling overwhelmed.What metrics should higher ed social teams focus on?Shuchita uses two core metrics to evaluate the performance of her content: engagement rate per post by followers and engagement rate per post by reach. Engagement by followers helps determine how the audience interacts with a post about the number of followers at the time of posting. This is especially useful for gauging the success of campus-centric visuals, athletic posts, and user-generated content. Engagement by reach, on the other hand, focuses on how well posts like deadline notifications or important updates perform in reaching a broader audience, even if engagement isn't as high. By keeping track of these metrics, social media teams can better assess what content works and adjust their strategies accordingly.How does Shuchita use benchmarks to guide her social media strategy?Shuchita's approach is a mix of internal and external benchmarking. Internally, her team at the University of Iowa has built benchmarks based on the past two years of data, giving them realistic goals for engagement and content performance. Externally, she keeps an eye on industry standards from platforms like Hootsuite, Rival IQ, and Sprout Social. These external benchmarks help her understand where her institution stands in comparison to broader higher education trends. Although the University of Iowa's account may be smaller than some industry averages, these comparisons offer valuable context, allowing her to refine her strategy.To dive deeper into social media analytics and how to use them effectively for higher education marketing, listen to the full episode of The Higher Ed pulse. Shuchita's expert insights are a must-hear for anyone looking to fine-tune their social media approach in higher ed. - - - -Connect With Our Co-Hosts:Mallory Willsea https://www.linkedin.com/in/mallorywillsea/https://twitter.com/mallorywillseaSeth Odell https://www.linkedin.com/in/sethodell/https://twitter.com/sethodellAbout The Enrollify Podcast Network:The Higher Ed Pulse is a part of the Enrollify Podcast Network.

Today we sit down with our own Communications Coordinator, Adrienne Gregurich. Growing up, she watched (and helped) her mom care for their neighbors, simply by meeting needs - big or small. These experiences taught her invaluable lessons about what it truly means to be a neighbor and how love is best expressed through actions. These simple yet powerful gestures redefined her view of community and taught her how loving others can be a beautiful, everyday act of grace and kindness.

It can be difficult to find courage to talk about endometriosis and the effects of the disease on fertility.  In this episode, Julie shares: her personal story of how circumstances beyond her control have shown her what her life's path is meant to be and how she has embraced walking it; dealing with the loss of something she may never have; the importance of finding the right people to support you; and how turning to creativity and making beauty in hardship was the catalyst for her business, Anam Cara Clay Goods.

And in her spare time, she is also the proud owner of a small business, Anam Cara Clay Goods, where she creates handmade polymer clay jewelry.  Her distinct jewelry design gives her the opportunity to share her passion for art while also creating beautiful things for the world to enjoy.  It is also a means by which she can give back in meaningful ways, most specifically with raising awareness about the effects of endometriosis and how we can make a positive impact for the millions of women worldwide being affected by this disease.  Anam Cara Clay Goods is about more than just the products Julie creates, but the intentional ways she can encourage and empower women to explore their own creativity, to feel good about themselves in their hearts, minds, and bodies, and to believe that-- just like a pair of earrings, we are all better together.

How was the Roman way of war unique, and what were the virtues that defined the Roman Republic? Are there lessons for modern Republics from the Roman one? Annika sits down with 2022-2023 James Madison Program Garwood Visiting Fellow Dr. Steele Brand, a professor of history and director of the Politics, Philosophy, and History Program at Cairn University. Dr. Brand, Professor of History at Cairn University and former U.S. Army tactical intelligence officer to discuss his book Killing for the Republic: Citizen-Soldiers and the Roman Way of War (Johns Hopkins UP, 2019). Dr. Brand shares why, while serving in Afghanistan, he felt compelled to write a book about ancient citizen-soldiery. He discusses the virtues that defined Roman citizen-soldiers and how these virtues contributed to Rome's resilience and success, how these Classical virtues intersect with modern Christian virtues, and the fall of the Republic. The conversation also touches on the challenges of maintaining these virtues in modern democracies and the parallels between ancient Roman and modern American republicanism. Steele Brand, 2022-2023 James Madison Program Garwood Visiting Fellow, is a Professor of History at Cairn University, where he is also the director and founder of the Politics, Philosophy, & History Program. Formerly, he has taught at The King's College and The University of Texas at Austin.
