REDWOOD SHORES, Calif., April 17,
2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Westchester Community College is implementing
Oracle Student Cloud solutions to support its goal of providing
accessible, high-quality and affordable education to its diverse
community. The two-year public college is affiliated with the
State University of New York, the
nation's largest comprehensive public university system.
To keep pace with fast-changing workforce requirements and
student expectations, institutions such as Westchester Community College are evolving to
improve student outcomes and operational efficiency. This change
demands both a new model for teaching, learning and research, as
well as better ways to recruit, engage and manage students
throughout their lifelong learning experience.
"We are committed to student success, academic excellence, and
workforce and economic development. To deliver on those promises we
needed to leverage the best technology to modernize our operations
and how we engage with our students," said Dr. Belinda Miles, president of Westchester Community College, Valhalla, N.Y. "By expanding our Oracle
footprint with Oracle Student Cloud we will be able to support
a diverse array of academic programs and learning opportunities
including continuing education, while delivering better experiences
to our students."
Oracle Student Cloud solutions, including Student Management and
Recruiting, will integrate seamlessly with Westchester's existing Oracle Campus student
information system. With Oracle Student Management, the school will
be able to better inform existing and prospective students about
classes and services, and Oracle Student Recruiting will improve
and simplify the student recruitment process. The college will also
be using Oracle Student Engagement to better communicate with and
engage current and prospective students.
"Oracle Student Cloud enables organizations such as Westchester to promote an increasingly diverse
array of academic programs for successful life-long learning," said
Vivian Wong, GVP higher education
development, Oracle. "We are delighted to partner with Westchester on their cloud transformation
journey."
Supporting the entire student life cycle, Oracle Student Cloud
is a complete suite of higher education cloud solutions, including
Student Management, Student Recruiting, Student Engagement, and
Student Financial Planning. As a set of modules, designed to work
as a suite, institutions are able to choose their own incremental
path to the cloud.
