SAN DIEGO, July 18, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- With over 500 attendees at its ninth annual CRM Summit in San Diego, California, TargetX announces and previews the addition of new student engagement solutions to its Recruitment and Retention CRM.
“TargetX has had a banner year rounding out its recruitment products and serving over 300 colleges and universities. It’s been a privilege to serve our customers with the only CRM solution that has a top-to-bottom approach to the recruitment funnel—from initial inquiry to actual enrollment on campus—as well as the only mobile-first design,” says Sasha Peterson, CEO of TargetX. “Now, being here at the CRM Summit conference, is my favorite time of the year. To have such a large group of people, from such a diverse body of schools, all talking about how to make this industry better is super exciting.”
Today, Sasha Peterson kicks off the CRM Summit with opening remarks that highlight the exciting new advancements within TargetX’s comprehensive recruitment suite, including an updated user interface for administrators and students. He also previews new functionalities and tools for the Student Retention solution and mobile-first applications that will be revealed in full later this summer.
On Tuesday, Julie Lythcott-Haims, New York Times best-selling author of How to Raise an Adult and former dean of freshmen at Stanford University, will deliver a keynote address. How to Raise an Adult is a provocative manifesto that draws on research; conversations with admissions officers, educators and employers; as well as personal insights into motherhood and university deanship, to highlight the ways in which overparenting harms children, their stressed-out parents, and society at large.
“We are delighted to have Julie Lythcott-Haims with us to talk about her experiences as a university dean, how to raise thriving adults, and the current higher education landscape. At TargetX, we are excited about the products. We are technologists for sure. But, we are education-focused first,” says Peterson “This is a mission-driven company. That’s why we do this job.”
