Clark U Program Helps Students Navigate the Application Process

Clark University in Massachusetts is working with student success company InsideTrack to help guide students through the application and enrollment process and prepare them for their academic experience. The effort reflects the all-graduate institution's goal to grow enrollment of working adult students and better support student success.

InsideTrack's enrollment coaches will work with prospective students via phone, e-mail and text, helping them "select the right program, complete the enrollment process and develop plans for balancing work, family and academic commitments," according to a news announcement. In addition, the company's coaches and consultants will help the university better utilize data and enrollment insights to inform operational decisions, such as the planned launch of its first fully online programs this fall.  

"By supporting students in making well-informed enrollment decisions and preparing for a strong start, we greatly enhance their long-term success," said John G. LaBrie, dean and associate provost for professional education at Clark University, in a statement. "Partnering with InsideTrack accelerates the pace at which we can enhance the services for our students and enables us to benefit from their deep expertise in meeting the needs of adult and online learners."
