"Small Colleges, Big Shifts: Reinventing Relevance in a Rapid World" Ep 16
In this episode of TransferTALK, host Jay Fedje is joined by Scott Novak, entrepreneur, consultant, and unapologetic advocate for small colleges.
Together, they tackle the hard truths facing small institutions: outdated systems, shrinking budgets, rising student expectations — and the fierce resistance to change that keeps many from moving forward.
You’ll hear Scott’s take on:
- How small colleges can modernize without losing their unique charm
- Why transfer, graduate, and online students are the key to long-term sustainability
- What a centralized resource hub for small colleges could look like
- How leadership, communication, and strategic use of tech make or break transformation
If you care about innovation in higher ed — or just love a good “scrappy college beats the odds” story — this episode is for you.
