As Salesforce professionals dedicated to the Higher Education sector, it's essential to navigate the current headwinds by leveraging data effectively. Here's a distilled summary of key areas to focus on: 1. Enrollment Challenges: - Declining birth rates resulting in fewer high school graduates. - Increased competition among higher education institutions. - Financial constraints leading to more discerning enrollment choices by students. 2. Student Success and Retention: - The need for personalized student engagement to boost retention. - Implementing predictive analytics to identify at-risk students early. - Utilizing data to improve academic advising and support services. 3. Operational Efficiency: - Streamlining administrative processes through automation. - Embracing cloud-based solutions for agility and cost savings. - Enhancing decision-making with real-time data and analytics. 4. Alumni Engagement and Fundraising: - Understanding alumni behavior and preferences with data insights. - Tailoring outreach and engagement strategies to increase alumni participation. - Leveraging AI to predict and enhance fundraising opportunities. 5. Compliance and Reporting: - Navigating the complexities of regulatory requirements with data accuracy. - Implementing robust reporting tools to ensure compliance. - Using data security measures to protect sensitive student information. In the pursuit of turning these challenges into opportunities, it's crucial to stay at the forefront of data-driven strategies within Salesforce ecosystems.  🔗 Link in the first comment 🔗 Article from thespotforpardot(dot)com #SFMCAE #Pardot #Marketingautomation #SFDC #MarketingChampions 💡 I share each day the latest insights and tips on Salesforce, Pardot, and Marketing Cloud.

I do love highlighting work and sharing to hopefully give ideas to others working in the same field. We recently improved our student portal to better connect students with the university departments that can help them succeed. Previously, this information was scattered across the general campus website, which serves a broad audience including faculty, staff, and the public. This can make it difficult for students to find the specific information they need. The Solution: A Focused Student Portal Our student portal, which requires login, allows us to target information directly to students. This way, we can highlight all the relevant departments where students can not only get information but also schedule appointments directly. Leveraging Salesforce's Student Success Hub We utilized the "Support Pools" feature within the Student Success Hub to house department information that is presented to the student so they can see what the department offers. It was important that it be clear and written by the departments themselves. Our Goals: Empower Departments: We wanted departments to be able to easily update their information within Salesforce itself. Enhance Presentation: We aimed to go beyond plain text and provide richer content with formatting options. Making it Happen: To achieve these goals, we made the following changes: Added a dedicated field in Salesforce to hold formatted text for each department. Developed a custom component using Lightning Web Components (LWC) to display the text, images, and relevant details about each department in the desired format on the student portal. Created a new page within the student portal to house this component. The Outcome: A Smoother Journey for Students With this I feel we've made it easier for students to find the support they need, hopefully making their educational journey a bit smoother. I am more than happy to answer any questions about this project please feel free to drop a line. Salesforce #StudentSuccessHub #EducationCloud #highereducation

From chaotic admission processes to scattered student resources, educational institutions face numerous challenges. However, we believe managing data and its access should not be one. With a portal, you can centralize and streamline all your data, from admissions to academic records, making it easily accessible to students, faculty, and staff alike. Let's dive into details as to how a salesforce portal can help you run your education institute's operations smoothly. 𝟏. 𝐈𝐧𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝐒𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐄𝐧𝐠𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭: Students stay in the know of their attendance, academic progress, and other activities. 𝟐. 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐈𝐧𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠: Parents have all the necessary updates and information regarding their child’s performance and school activities. The institute can share information about the syllabus, coursework, fee structure, etc. 𝟑. 𝐌𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐒𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬: Keep in the know of student performance by tracking their attendance, grades, assignments, and class engagement. 𝟒. 𝐀𝐮𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐞𝐧𝐫𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬: With education portal development, student applications, once accepted, automatically convert to their student profile to then enable course selection, fee payment, and more. Apart from doing all this, the portal saves you from a lot of frustration and headaches as a lot of your work gets streamlined. So, if you want to ease your burden and elevate your efficiency, opting for a slick portal solution is a no-brainer. #CRMJetty #SalesforcePortal #PortalSolutions #EducationPortal
