Successful retention strategies at Sullivan University

Retaining students is one of the most critical issues facing colleges and universities today. Yet most institutions only learn of at-risk students after their grades are posted or they drop out. Sullivan University has deployed an early warning system to reach out to students early and more often using data from its student information system, portal solution, and contact management tools. Whether the issue is academic, financial, or even a transcript request from another institution, key staff get alerted automatically for immediate follow-up. Join Raymond Todd Blackwood, senior product manager at Campus Management, and his guest Nicole Briscoe, director of applications at Sullivan University, for this inside look at the latest best practices and technology for keeping students on the path to success.
Speakers will address the following topics:

• Centralizing data from multiple systems to create a more complete picture of applicants and students
• Targeting students at the right time with the right information through their preferred communications channel
• Empowering faculty and other key staff with dynamic portal tools for adding activities to student records

Nicole Briscoe, Director of Applications at Sullivan University
Dr. LaVena Wilkins, Dean of Conflict Management Programs at Sullivan University 
Raymond Todd Blackwood, Senior Product Manager at Campus Management
