Don't Shoot from the Hip, Pull the Trigger!
Because of the variety of customers it must work with, Admissions is considered multifaceted and complex.
With the use of triggers, CollegeNET helps Admission offices further develop their business processes for
focusing attention on and communicating admissions information internally and to external constituents at
their university. This session will provide background on the need for developing a more comprehensive plan
for information distribution and establishing stronger relationships with constituents. We will discuss and
demonstrate how Virginia Tech has integrated the use of triggers to create a streamlined process for informing
program areas and administrative personnel across campus of needed information, as well as, using targeted
marketing to recruit and yield students.
This forum will provide an opportunity for others to learn from our experiences and to help develop their own
plans for working smarter with their constituents. It will also provide a structured environment to share and
discuss new ideas with others who face similar issues.
