What Stronger Faculty Visibility Can Unlock for Your Institution - A Conversation with Dr. Hashim Zaman

Most faculty pages are outdated directories. No story. No strategy.

But in today’s landscape, faculty visibility impacts everything, from citations and media to enrollment and funding.

In this episode, Dr. Hashim Zaman breaks down how higher-ed marketers can support faculty online without adding to their workload, or risking trust.

Here’s what you’ll take away:

• Why personal branding feels performative to most academics and how to reframe it as “visibility with purpose” rooted in research—not hype.
• The disconnect between MarCom teams and faculty. One wants content. The other wants control. Here’s how to bridge the gap.
• What makes academic content more shareable and engaging. From video abstracts to short posts, Dr. Zaman shares formats that work.
• How marketing leaders can support faculty without overwhelming them. Tools, templates, opt-ins, and mindset shifts that build long-term trust.

“Most professors want their work to be seen, they just don’t want to lose control of how it’s represented.” Dr. Hashim Zaman
