Initiative TitleBuilt and implement CRM
Submitted in Previous Year(s)2020
Critical Information, Notes, Justification, Rationale

Admissions recently has purchased a CRM (Fireworks). We have received word that this is on the project prioritization list. We are looking to build and implement this product for the upcoming Fall 2021 recruitment cycle.

Consequences of this initiative not being funded

Our process is very manual. A CRM would automate our process and track a student from when they show interest to when they enroll. It would enhance the student enrollment experience.

Department GoalsEnhance student communication to allow students to have a more personalized and engaging experience.

Prioritization Notes

Level 3 (Student Services, VP Office)

Using operational budget dollars we were able to purchase a CRM that enables tracking of prospects and applicants and facilitates communication through email and text.    The Admissions staff can communicate much more efficiently and effectively using a tool designed for this purpose.
