Dr. Zachary Maggio

Zachary Maggio is a higher education scholar and graduate enrollment leader working at the intersection of marketing, strategy, analytics, and technology. Over nearly two decades, he has helped institutions design and execute analytically rigorous, market-aware enrollment strategies that connect brand and demand generation to measurable enrollment outcomes.

He currently serves as Senior Associate Dean for Enrollment, Engagement & Student Success at Yale School of Nursing, where he is responsible for enrollment outcomes, tuition revenue, and the full student lifecycle - from initial inquiry through graduation and alumni engagement. He overhauled the school's enrollment management function from the ground up: organizing its work around a defined enrollment funnel, rebuilding admissions, financial aid, registrar, and student life operations, and launching the school's first paid digital marketing campaigns. Under his leadership, the school's enrollment planning has become more data-driven and market-aware.

Before Yale, Maggio was a key contributor in building and launching the first new graduate school at New York University in more than fifty years, a complex multi-school academic initiative where he led enrollment marketing and admissions strategy. Earlier, at the University of California, Berkeley, he worked in the Office of the Chancellor and the Division of Student Affairs on efforts to expand access and improve yield among underrepresented students.

Maggio holds a BA from the University of California, Berkeley, an MSc from the London School of Economics, and a PhD in higher education from New York University.

Outside of his professional work, Zach is a musician who collects coins and has longstanding interests in art, chamber music and film. He lives with his wife and daughter, splitting his time between Connecticut and New York, and remains a committed New York Mets fan despite everything.
