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. 74: Breaking Records, Building Belonging: Inside UNC Charlotte’s Advancement Playbook","slug":"ep-74-breaking-records-building-belonging-inside-unc-charlotte-s-advancement-playbook","published_at":"2026-05-12T07:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/talking-tactics-6399040/ep-74-breaking-records-building-belonging-inside-unc-charlotte-s-advancement-playbook","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/talking-tactics-6399040","url":"https://talking-tactics.simplecast.com/episodes/ep-74-breaking-records-building-belonging-inside-unc-charlottes-advancement-playbook-PUJu2KUT","audio_url":"https://afp-232483-injected.calisto.simplecastaudio.com/0e7718ce-a9f3-4eec-ae5a-990837981e0f/episodes/3ae4f877-450a-4cd3-8997-2bc0d6c5ea30/audio/128/default.mp3?aid=rss_feed&awCollectionId=0e7718ce-a9f3-4eec-ae5a-990837981e0f&awEpisodeId=3ae4f877-450a-4cd3-8997-2bc0d6c5ea30&feed=TW3wUdsO","summary":"UNC Charlotte is rewriting what modern university advancement can look like—fast, collaborative, and deeply rooted in place. In this episode of Talking Tactics with Safaniya Stevenson, Beth Krigler and Penny Hawkins unpack how the “For the Love of Charlotte” campaign helped fuel a record-breaking surge in giving, including an extraordinary rise in non-alumni engagement and a fundraising trajectory that’s set to hit its $500M goal years ahead of schedule. From building a culture of “getting to yes” to breaking down silos across athletics, academics, and alumni relations, this conversation reveals how intentional alignment, shared language, and community-driven strategy can transform fundraising from transactional efforts into sustained momentum.","meta_description":"UNC Charlotte is rewriting what modern university advancement can look like—fast, collaborative, and deeply rooted in place.
