Today, I am excited to speak with Mitchell Spearman, relationship builder and advisor to multigenerational families and family office leaders. Through his work, Mitchell helps his clients build deeper ties and meaningful connectivity through curated moments and transformational experiences. Mitchell's career started in higher learning, and as an educator, he embraced the concept of High Impact Practices that, as research has shown, can generate stronger engagement with students and deliver lasting educational impact. Mitchels explains what High Impact Practices are and how they are applied by teachers and learning institutions. He then talks about how these same High Impact Practices can be adapted to the world of wealth management, and particularly to the field of advising multigenerational UHNW families. To bring this into practice, Mitchell offers a range of tips and suggestions for families interested in learning and applying the High Impact Practices approach in their day-to-day communication, engagement, and work with their family members or their family enterprise or family office staff. He also provides useful pointers to family advisors and service providers across different disciplines on how they can borrow from and apply High Impact Practices in their work and interactions with their UHNW family clients.

STAMPED is pleased to welcome Tyvi Small, Vice Chancellor of Diversity and Engagement at the University of Tennessee-Knoxville. Our interview starts with Tyvi's early travel experiences as well as his introduction to the world of study abroad! He recounted that while in undergrad he was very engaged in various campus programs, but the one thing he didn't do was study abroad. Now, a higher education professional, Tyvi works diligently to provide international opportunities for all students. During this episode we discuss study abroad as one of AAC&U's High Impact Practices and what that means for students of color. Through the sharing of stories, Tyvi reminds us that we must be intentional about our work to diversify study abroad as it relates to participants and employees. He also shares information about the UT Success Academy, a program designed to maximize the transition to college for Black and Latinx male students. This epsiode is full of great tips; we hope you enjoy "A Conversation from the Field with Tyvi Small". To learn more about Tyvi or UT, visit Diversity and Engagement .

Mary Marcy discusses her influential new book, The Small College Imperative: Models for Sustainable Futures (Stylus, 2020) which lays out five different models that small colleges and universities can use to succeed in today's highly competitive marketplace. This begins with the “Traditional” liberal arts model that is increasingly limited to the most highly selective and well-endowed colleges. Most tuition-dependent institutions have made the move toward a more “Integrated” Model that retains a liberal arts core, but has added pre-professional and graduate programs. This model is perhaps best exemplified by the 25 members of the New American Colleges & Universities (NACU). “The Distinctive Model” adopted by institutions like Agnes Scott and Furman, and implemented with great success by Marcy at Dominican University, builds off the literature on High-Impact Practices to create a common set of experiences for all undergraduates. The models that entail the greatest transformation are “Growth” and “Distributed” that entail substantial expansion beyond the liberal arts core to include satellite campuses and online offerings. In the Distributed model, exemplified by institutions like Southern New Hampshire University, the original campus is no longer central to the strategy.
