Ethan Logan, VP of Enrollment Management at the University of Hartford, shares how 28 years of mission-driven leadership in higher education has shaped his approach to breaking down barriers, sustaining institutions that serve underserved communities, and building lasting access — one student, one family, one generation at a time.
In this conversation, you'll learn:
✅ How to reframe the ROI of investing in people — and why compounding impact changes entire family legacies
✅ What the "enrollment cliff" really means for mission-driven organizations serving underserved populations
✅ Why removing access barriers requires multiple pathways — and how leaders can apply that framework across any sector
This episode is for mission-driven leaders and nonprofit executives who are wrestling with how to sustain their organization's purpose while expanding community reach — without losing what makes their mission matter.
