This session will feature State and District leaders that have transformed their enrollment and admissions process by implementing a Salesforce solution and rebuilding their enrollment to provide equitable access to all families.
Learn how Austin Independent School District, Houston Independent School District, New Orleans School District, and State of Victoria (AUS) leaders have achieved new efficiencies by gathering admissions, placement, and parent information in a single application. Families across these institutions can now more easily get key school information to find the right schools for their children.

Meetup | Boston University’s New Student Portal: Leveraging Design Thinking to Meet Student Needs
Tuesday, April 11 | 2p – 3p CT
Level 5, Oak Cliff 1

Alanna Steffens, Senior Principal and Practice Lead, Attain Partners

Alexandra Bellerose, Director of Communications, Enrolled Students, Boston University Enrollment and Student Administration
Like many higher education institutions, Boston University found itself stuck with a legacy student information system (SIS) whose user interface was outdated, difficult to navigate, and fell short of what students expected from a world-class institution. The University engaged Attain Partners to design a Salesforce-based student portal to modernize and improve the student experience at Boston University.
Join us in this meetup to hear how Attain Partners enlisted design thinking methodologies to craft a thoughtful solution that puts student experience first, using technology to meet their needs and data to drive decision-making.

Session | Student Success at Fordham: A Holistic Approach
Tuesday, April 11 | 3p – 3:40p CT
Level 3, Trinity Ballroom 4
Deepa Bedi, Principal, Attain Partners
Susan Tobes, Managing Director, Strategic Growth, Attain Partners
Anand Padmanabhan, Chief Information Officer, Fordham University
Dawn Lehman, Professor & Executive Director, Center for Positive Marketing and Special Advisor to the Provost on Strategy, Fordham University
Treat your students like customers—that’s how Fordham University reimagined its approach to student success. By creating a student-centric solution with Attain Partners, the University is serving diverse student needs and supporting connectedness through technology.
Retaining students is just as important as recruiting them. When Fordham University made a significant investment in student success, Attain Partners used Service Cloud, Experience Cloud, and Student Success Hub to improve the student experience, driving deeper engagement. By shifting to a more customer-focused approach to student needs rather than departmental, Fordham was able to dramatically improve adoption, resulting in a stronger student experience within this enterprise-wide transformation.
Join us at this session to learn more about using Salesforce to improve the student experience.
