Students want to hear from other students, so being able to capture their perspective felt like the right way to go to ensure another year of strong applications. We promoted these across social platform, and achieved over 2,000 applications. Below are glimpses from the LinkedIn posts shared from our ma

Lead Gen: Savings Calculator Campaign
The edtech company had a preliminary tool when I got there which they called an ROI calculator. After looking at it, I realized that was incorrect as we were really only showing savings so I renamed it as a savings calculator. We wanted to test it out before putting in development time to create an actual calculator. The number from the form was sent via Zapier to a spreadsheet which spit out the numbers for me. I then used the number to create an actual report that sales was

For this senior, you could say that time is everything, and something she never wastes. Savannah is relatively new to GAC. She transitioned last year from an

Writing: Teacher Profiles
The start of every school year isn’t anything like the courtroom scene Mary Lynn Huett had mastered after law school, or even the legal services department she ran later on for a national trade association. No, it’s usually a jury of 20 restless high school teenagers who have signed up for her honors chemistry or AP chemistry course. This is the kind of jury she loves most. It’s what invigorates her about teaching and gives meaning to her work. “I genuinely like high school
