If there’s one thing consistent in communication, it’s that communication styles and preferences are always changing, and this is especially true in the higher education arena. Institutions have had to pivot to meet the needs to digital native students, even before the onset of the pandemic. Administrators and educators rely more than ever on collaboration apps like Teams and Slack. Meanwhile, Gen Z and Millennial students continue to seek platforms which allow them to interact with information, not just receive it. With students, educators and administrators juggling multiple apps for communication and collaboration, a very real risk exists for important messages to get lost in the shuffle. Now what does this mean for your PeopleSoft applications? CY2 Connect was built in order to bridge the gap between the SIS and your favorite communications apps – be it Teams, Whatsapp, Slack or something else. Just like any good relationship though, this communication isn’t a one-way street. In this presentation we’ll discuss communication trends among today’s students and faculty and demonstrate in real-time how CY2 Connect can link to various apps in a few easy steps – and how the apps can link back to Campus Solutions!
