Evolution Labs provides a fresh approach to recruitment technology—focusing on the student, not just the back-end software...We were looking for technology that would make their experience better...S360 allows us to do that.
Morristown, NJ (PRWEB) July 15, 2015
Evolution Labs today announced that the University of Missouri has chosen its S360™ engagement products to enhance the experience of prospective and admitted students as well international prospects. S360 enables colleges to immerse prospective, admitted and current students in highly engaging web and mobile-based experiences designed to foster a meaningful affinity between student and school and to impact learning outcomes and student success. Mizzou will launch the S360 Recruit over the summer with special tracks for both high school juniors and rising seniors, and plans to launch S360 Yield in the fall.
“The University of Missouri has always been innovative and is truly becoming a leader in leveraging new technology to enhance the admission and yield process,” said Peter Kraft, Co-founder at Evolution Labs. “In this competitive admissions environment, we believe universities that focus on student and parent-centric engagement tools to better hone in on prospects’ interests will emerge in a leadership position over institutions that rely mainly on administrator-centric platforms, such as CRMs.”
S360 provides prospective, admitted and current students with highly individualized content tailored to the criteria and interests they find most relevant to their own college search—from academics and faculty to campus location, size and personality of the school. As prospects and admits learn more about Mizzou through expert-written articles, engaging videos and quizzes, they can also interact and “shadow” current students, view "real-life" social media feeds and share their interest in Mizzou by connecting program features with their preferred social networks—all on a single platform.
S360 also utilizes a proprietary algorithm designed to determine propensity of prospects and admits on a multi-faceted spectrum that considers academic, financial and lifestyle fit. Engagement insights are delivered back to the school in real time, arming them to make better communication and enrollment decisions.
“Evolution Labs provides a fresh approach to recruitment technology—focusing on the student, not just the back-end software,” said Chuck Mays, Director of Admissions at the University of Missouri. “We were looking for technology that would make their experience better, not just the experience of our admissions and marketing staff. S360 allows us to do that.”
