Increased Communication - Simplifying Analytics - Improving Outreach
Universities do not provide support for research and honors programs for undergraduate students. Recruitment only takes place one time, during the admission process, and manual communication results in poor outreach. Data reporting is also a manual process and the little data that is shared is not shared across infrastructure or with students. Few students take the time to apply and there is little benefit gained, so participation is poor in these programs.
