Borough of Manhattan Community College Partners with Greenwood Hall to Enhance Student Success and Experience
November 29 2016 - 7:00AM
Greenwood Hall, Inc. (OTCQB:ELRN), an education technology company
that helps colleges and universities increase revenue and improve
student engagement and outcomes, today announced the Company has
entered into an agreement with New York City-based Borough of
Manhattan Community College to assess and suggest changes to the
provisioning of student services support and to assist students
with gaining better access to college services.
Working with BMCC’s senior management team,
Greenwood Hall will provide a comprehensive assessment of the
workflow with the goal of identifying weak spots in the
provisioning of students services. Greenwood Hall will then develop
with the College's team recommendations based on industry best
practices and the custom needs of the college. The Company will
assist the BMCC in enhancing student success and experience through
support in the areas of financial aid, admissions, registration and
other enrollment, and student services.
“It’s been a great experience having the GH team on
campus. Their people are intimately familiar with the subject
matter, but more importantly, they are empathetic to the pressures
and issues faced by the Community College today,” said Diane
Walleser, Ed.D., Vice President for Enrollment Management at
Borough of Manhattan Community College. “With our continued focus
on student success and student retention, the help the GH team is
providing will go a long way in helping us meet our goals.”
“A great student experience is essential to student
success and student retention,” said Pam Notemyer-Rogers, Senior
Vice President of Business Development at Greenwood Hall. “BMCC,
Dr. Walleser, and her team have made the connection between great
service and increased student success. It’s always our goal to
help, and it’s gratifying that we can help such a great school and
such a great team.”
