Arkansas State Deploys New Administrative Software on 2-Year College Campuses
Arkansas
State University (ASU) has decided to
adopt new administrative software at its three two-year
colleges that
typically have a total of 6,000 students on nine campuses.
The suite of tools, CampusNexus,
allows schools to manage all of their dealings with students and
administration, including admissions, enrollment, financial aid,
recruiting,
alumni fundraising, human resources, payroll and finance. The set of
tools
includes CampusNexus Student, CampusNexus CRM, Campus Nexus Finance, HR
&
Payroll and its fundraising platform.
The
goal, university representatives said,
is to replace the legacy systems with a unified platform designed to
help them grow enrollment, increase retention, improve student
engagement, make
sharing among departments easier and inform data-driven decision-making.
"We
understand that two-year
institutions encounter significant enrollment shifts and budget
constraints,
yet are highly in tune with their community's needs," said Campus
Management
CEO Jim Milton.
"From
recruitment and retention to
alumni relations and advancement, we will now have the foundation we
need for
improving engagement across the student lifecycle," said ASU-Mountain
Home
Chancellor Robin Meyers.
