Think it will be difficult to get in front of your higher ed prospects in December? ***Let UB help you make the connection.

Could sharing a learning management system make sense? This article will examine the concept-whether it's buying a single LMS across a university system or individual colleges deciding to purchase the same LMS to make collaboration among faculty easier. One big challenge is getting faculty on board. CF: FINANCIAL PLANNING AND BUDGETING TOOLS The majority of college finance departments still rely on traditional spreadsheet software, despite its limitations. Some finance teams, however, are switching to more sophisticated technology for financial planning and budgeting. This move may allow for more input and a clearer understanding of the institution's financial picture. HUMAN RESOURCES: RECRUITMENT AND RETENTION Colleges and universities are faced with an ongoing staffing talent shortage. How is HR ensuring its retention efforts are aligned with internal and external recruitment strategies? CAMPUS SECURITY: DRONES FOR CAMPUS SAFETY Colleges are increasing the use of drones as part of equipment used by campus security departments. This story will look at how institutions leverage this technology, including best practices and policies, the challenges involved, and other issues, such as privacy and conflicts with other local law enforcement. RESIDENCE LIFE: SINGLE-ROOM HOUSING Colleges face growing pressure to offer single-room options-to meet freshmen privacy expectations, to accommodate students with physical and emotional disabilities, and to keep upper class students on campus. Still, many campus housing officials continue to see the value in having students learn to live with others. ***Contact your UB representative today!
