Engage Students, Alumni and Donors

In a more customer-centric landscape, education institutions must put the student at the center of all they do – from the day they show interest in your institution through graduation and beyond as alumni – while managing broader stakeholder relationships. Advance your relationships by managing your outreach to prospective students, current students, alumni, donors and corporate partners. With Huron, colleges and universities learn how customer relationship management (CRM) capabilities can be optimized to build, expand and sustain meaningful long-term relationships with constituents.
