Students, faculty and staff look to their campus resources to provide them with the most current information, answers to their questions and the very best support experience. But oftentimes, campus resources are limited and responding to high volumes of calls, emails and repetitive questions burdens campus support departments, decreases satisfaction and raises overall costs. Colleges and universities, today, need to ensure the best, most complete online service experience to keep their growing campus communities happy, no matter how many facilities and locations they serve and no matter where in the world their students are located.

“How Kellogg Successfully Supports 3,000 MBA Students Across Multiple Campuses” will feature David Cano, IT Consultant – Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University. David is the Technical Support Center Manager, overseeing a staff of 26 consultants who provide technical support for all 3,000+ Executive, Full-Time, Part-Time and International Executive MBA students, as well as 1,000 faculty and staff at this top ranked university. In this webinar, David will share his industry expertise and discuss how Kellogg uses on-demand service software to solve their support challenges and how they implemented this technology across four interdependent support locations, spanning three cities for campus wide standardization and efficient student, faculty and staff support.
