Recruitment and Admissions

Phase 1 of the Student Experience Enhancement workstream will focus on recruitment and admissions. This project will deliver an integrated CRM (Constituent Relationship Management) solution.

The project will deliver a CRM (Constituent Relationship Management) experience to support recruitment, the application process, application management, application review and decision-making, communications and events throughout the admission funnel (prospect to admit).

A comprehensive system reduction and deduplication will reduce complexity and allow for the future technology landscape at WVU to transition from manual processes to an integrated suite of tools allowing students and staff to have a unified One WVU experience.
