Talking Tactics celebrates these flashes of genius in higher education wherever they come from: the work-study student yapping in the commons, an admissions counselor pulling a late night, or the frazzled enrollment coordinator juggling a million tasks before noon. We explore both the insight AND the action, how a single observation became a tactic that delivered real results. We’ll even look at tactics that were a flop but led to an even greater comeback. Talking Tactics is hosted by Safaniya Stevenson and is a proud member of the Enrollify Podcast Network.","last_synced_at":null,"page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/talking-tactics-6399040"},"episode":{"title":"Ep. 55: How Campus Geese Tripled Unrestricted Giving","slug":"ep-55-how-campus-geese-tripled-unrestricted-giving","published_at":"2025-07-08T07:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/talking-tactics-6399040/ep-55-how-campus-geese-tripled-unrestricted-giving","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/talking-tactics-6399040","url":"https://talking-tactics.simplecast.com/episodes/ep-55-how-campus-geese-tripled-unrestricted-giving-VXrHqNWn","audio_url":"https://afp-232483-injected.calisto.simplecastaudio.com/0e7718ce-a9f3-4eec-ae5a-990837981e0f/episodes/fa9c969e-a2a7-424c-a42f-bd57641e424f/audio/128/default.mp3?aid=rss_feed&awCollectionId=0e7718ce-a9f3-4eec-ae5a-990837981e0f&awEpisodeId=fa9c969e-a2a7-424c-a42f-bd57641e424f&feed=TW3wUdsO","summary":"On this episode of Talking Tactics, host Day chats with Stormie Harless and Reggie Hayes of Ball State University about one of the quirkiest—and most successful—Giving Day campaigns we've ever seen: letting donors name a goose.
