Communications to Admitted Students

With the help of Marissa Matton & Tim Murphy, we have officially started the Yield Campaign for Fall 2022 admitted students.  With our new CRM Slate, communications are now smarter and the yield stream is triggered only once a student has actually viewed their admit decision. This is something we couldn’t do before and will help with smarter and more personalized communications in the future as we continue to communicate to this important audience.

Update: Custom Profile Additions

Within just a few hours of UMassD Announce mentioning the addition of pronouns to the University’s directory profiles, we received 24 new requests – while all of these requests utilized the new “pronouns” field, 18 of them were submitted solely to include their pronouns on their profile. Considering that we average 13 custom profile requests per month, it seems that this addition has been well-received.
