Digital transformation of International Center programs increases efficiency, enabling more time for advising students and applying modern data management to grow programs
CHAPEL HILL, N.C., July 16, 2024 – Terra Dotta, a leading global engagement education technology provider, today announced that the University of Louisville, a premier, nationally recognized metropolitan research university with more than 23,000 students, has selected its Global Engagement Platform to digitally transform the management of the university’s collective international programs. Nearly 1,000 University of Louisville students and faculty study abroad each year, and the university’s International Center programs host nearly 1,000 international student and scholars annually.’
Terra Dotta’s Global Engagement Platform will help integrate workflows, streamline communication and automate documentation across the University of Louisville’s International Center including International Admissions, Education Abroad, International Student & Scholar Services, International Travel and Global Initiatives. The increased operational efficiency will help enhance student success outcomes by providing more personalized support and timely information.
“Moving to Terra Dotta’s global engagement platform is a game changer as the platform is doing the manual, data-entry work of up to five FTEs,” said Dr. Paul Hofmann, the University of Louisville Associate Vice Provost for International Affairs. “Now, our team of international education professionals has more time to promote global experiences and support students in these efforts – which is their true calling – and can apply modern data management principles to help grow our programs.”
The integration of Terra Dotta’s seven cloud-based solutions into an enterprise platform will help manage the processes and data for outgoing study abroad, incoming international student and scholar services, agreements and travel risk management – including access to the award- winning AlertTraveler® mobile solution.
“We are excited to work with the University of Louisville to help digitally transform the management of their International Center programs as we project an increase in efficiency and revenue,” said Ben Psillas, CEO of Terra Dotta. “Managing all global programs from one platform will help Louisville’s international education professionals enable more data-driven insights creating more time for program development and student advising.”
