Encouraging the Campus Conversation

“Initially we were skeptical about the campus wall, not sure we had the resources to monitor and moderate a public arena but we soon found out that students police themselves, and the result is a positive environment where students can ask questions and get quick answers, much faster than our staff would ever be able to respond.“

- Dean Chris Schmidt, Lindsey Wilson College

Decisions Based On Real Time Data

The Career Services staff at the college used this information to proactively advertise job postings on the app.
