My university is experiencing record enrollments. We are 50% over last year’s numbers. We are not at the peak enrollment we had in 2011 but that was during a bad recession, and people always go back to school during recessions. We are almost at the 2011 peak. This is happening right as everybody else is losing students because of demographics and a good job market.

Why is this happening?

Last year, my university invited a very talented dude to organize our recruitment. That dude was a brilliant salesman. He got lured away from us after a few months because somebody with his talent will always be sought after. But in the several months he was with us the dude reorganized our entire system, and the results are stunning.

Everybody is complaining and whining, and then one hardworking, talented person comes and bends reality to his will.
