Keynote Speaker: Dr. Brenda Harms

Dr. Brenda Harms is an experienced higher education administrator with a diverse marketing and admissions background. Her perspective on higher education marketing and recruitment is strengthened by her hands-on experience serving in both academic and administrative roles at a branch campus. During that time, she was also involved in the development and delivery of accelerated on-campus and online courses. Her book, Up to Speed: Marketing to Today's Adult Student, was published in March 2010.

While Brenda's primary interest is the recruitment and retention of adult students, her knowledge, and experience relating to higher education has greatly benefited consulting projects focused on institutional marketing.

Dr. Harms is active in the higher education community, having served as the secretary/treasurer of the National Association of Branch Campus Administrators executive committee and as the 2008 national conference program chair. She is also an avid speaker, having presented at several national conferences, including the CIC, CASE, CAEL, UPCEA Marketing, CAHEA, ACHE, NABCA, and CAP conferences.

Brenda received a B.S. in allied health and an M.A. in educational psychology and counseling from the University of South Dakota. She received her Ph.D. in human services with her dissertation focused specifically on adult student retention.
