Student Engagement Platform Crafton Hills College emphasizes small class sizes and robust student life, including clubs, student government, and the Honors Program. This creates an opportunity to deploy a centralized Student Engagement Platform that unifies club management, events, volunteer opportunities, tutoring, and mentorship, with dashboards to track participation and outcomes. By piloting with the Student Life or Honors Program, you can demonstrate improvements in engagement and retention and build a case for broader rollout. The solution can integrate with existing tools in their stack such as NestJS, Google Sheets, and analytics platforms to minimize disruption.

Recruitment Analytics The college appears engaged in marketing and recruitment activities and already uses MonsterInsights and Google Sheets. Propose an integrated Marketing Analytics and Automation platform that pulls data from the website admissions workflow and campus events to optimize recruitment and transfer outcomes. Features include enrollment funnel tracking, program specific campaigns, attribution analysis, and privacy compliant data sharing with departments. A targeted pilot with Admissions and Marketing can drive higher application and enrollment efficiency.

Infrastructure Modernization CHC uses Akamai for content delivery and modern development tools including Apache Airflow and NestJS. This presents an opportunity to offer infrastructure modernization services such as managed hosting, CDN optimization, security hardening, and single sign on for student and staff portals plus automated data pipelines for campus dashboards. The engagement can reduce downtime during peak times, improve learning platform performance, and accelerate new app onboarding. Start with the main college site and learning portal and scale to other campus applications.

Workforce Partnerships The institution focuses on workforce readiness and transfer pathways which align with local employer needs. Propose partnerships with employers and community organizations to co create certificate programs, internships, apprenticeships, and job placement pipelines. We can provide program governance tooling, data sharing, analytics, and shared dashboards to measure outcomes. Next steps include identifying target departments such as Career Services and Workforce Development and conducting a joint program ROI study.

Social Hub Strategy With the use of link aggregators and evolving social tools there is an opportunity to standardize campus branding through a social link hub. Offer a campus branded link in bio or content hub that integrates with WordPress and Google Sheets, giving staff control over links, privacy, and analytics while enabling student ambassadors to share cohesive content. Propose a pilot with Marketing and Communications to measure social engagement and conversions to inquiries and applications.
