    Episode 027- Brendan Schneider- Director of Advancement, Sewickley Academy

    In the words of Brendan Schneider, “I began as the Director of Admission & Financial Aid at Sewickley Academy in the Summer of 2008. In October of 2008, the stock market crashed, and our interest indicators (inquiries, applications, and visits) seemed to be a one month trailing average of the stock market. What were we going to do? We initially ran to traditional outbound marketing techniques that we had never tried before. We used billboards and placards in the airport which proved to be a huge waste of money and didn’t help our admission efforts. Next, we turned to social media and launched our Facebook Page, and Twitter account thinking that by utilizing social media alone it would drive hundreds of mission appropriate, full-pay families to our doors. We were wrong. I then picked up a copy of Inbound Marketing: Get Found Using Google, Social Media, and Blogs (New Rules Social Media Series) by Brian Halligan and Dharmesh Shah and our journey with inbound marketing began.” In this podcast, Mr. Schneider reflects upon his journey at Sewickley and provides proof points and ideas for taking independent school marketing to the next level. http://www.ljcds.org

    Episode 021- Susan Nordenger- Assistant Head of School for Philanthropy

    Susan Nordenger never believed that teaching is a job but rather a calling. From the first day she stepped into her La Jolla Country Day School classroom, she knew she found the place she wanted to call home. After 10 years of teaching in the Middle School, Mrs. Nordenger worked with students to create an all-school community service program. This 19-year endeavor has been the most rewarding phase of her career. Mrs. Nordenger began teaching in St. Helens, Oregon. Those first six years were split between teaching in a self-contained sixth-grade classroom and teaching eighth-grade American history, English and literature. Mrs. Nordenger fell in love with student activities, learning to work and lead students out of the classroom. She began teaching sixth grade at LJCDS in 1987. She also taught seventh-grade English for eight years and the Upper School public speaking course for 17 years. In 1997, she became the community service director, and in 2004, the school implemented its global service program traveling to India, Mexico, the Dominican Republic, Nicaragua, Ghana, Thailand, Tanzania and Kenya. The year 2016 brought another chapter in Mrs. Nordenger's LJCDS story as she took on the role of assistant head of school for philanthropy. She is excited to work with parents, grandparents and alumni in securing the future of the school and cultivating a culture of giving. Gratitude defines her life and experiences, and she finds there is no greater privilege than to stand side by side with community members as they realize their potential to make a difference in the life of this school and the surrounding community. http://www.ljcds.org
