Chapman University College Highlights Success with InsideTrack in Presentation at ACT Conference
Momentum Building in Higher Education for Student Success Coaching
SAN FRANCISCO, CA, July 19, 2007 — InsideTrack's Enrollment and Success Coaching services have made a measurable difference in increasing new starts, enrollment and retention at Chapman University College (CUC), according to a presentation at the 22nd Annual ACT Enrollment Planners Conference in Chicago today. The presentation, "Empowering Adult Students to Persist: One Student at a Time," was given by Hernan Bucheli, CUC's Assistant Vice Chancellor for Enrollment and Student Affairs.
In his presentation, Mr. Bucheli noted that the retention rate of students who have received Success Coaching is 6 percent higher than CUC's three-year-average and that CUC has experienced 36 percent more enrollments at coached campuses as a result of increased new starts and higher retention. Mr. Bucheli also discussed the wider impact that coaching has had at CUC, such as facilitating a more performance-based culture, increasing interaction between students and staff members, and fostering greater student accountability and success.
"The partnership between InsideTrack and the CUC team has been instrumental in helping to meet and exceed new student and retention goals," said Mr. Bucheli. "A key element used to facilitate the enrollment success of the Concord Campus was the inclusion of InsideTrack's Enrollment and Success Coaching services."
Earlier this month CUC received the Marketing-Recruitment Excellence Award from Noel Levitz at the company's National Conference on Student Recruiting, Marketing and Retention.
According to Alan Tripp, Founder and CEO of InsideTrack, "We are delighted to see our clients sharing the positive results they are achieving at these important conferences. At Chapman University College and other partner institutions, the results are clear: Success Coaching is the right solution for improving student retention. InsideTrack also makes it easy to implement its coaching programs and see quick results. CUC's experience is yet another example of the impact that coaching has both on student success and on our client's goal of improving revenue and lowering enrollment costs."
