Liz Dietz previously served as vice president of student strategy and product management at Workday.
These colleges took a novel approach: they collaborated while simultaneously deploying Workday Student. Learn what they gained through this collaboration, and how Workday Student is preparing their organizations for a changing world.
While the pressure for increased accountability can seem daunting for higher education institutions, having the right systems in place can provide a win-win solution. Learn how higher education institutions can leverage cloud technologies to drive student success.
A huge mismatch exists between what higher education institutions offer in terms of digital tools, and what students themselves want when they get to campus. Watch our video to find out how Workday's recently-graduated product managers build a system with students in mind.
Next-generation IT is top-of-mind for many higher education CIOs. How can new technologies help colleges and universities better support our next generation of students?
EDUCAUSE has revealed its "Top 10 IT issues," and once again student success—and technology's ability to support it—is on the list. Liz Dietz explains how the newly released Workday Student system was designed from scratch to help higher education institutions focus on student satisfaction and success.
Liz Dietz discusses the general availability of Workday Student, a system we've built hand-in-hand with our customer design partners to bring a truly modern student information system to market.
The higher education landscape is changing, requiring colleges to take a closer look at the way students are learning and preparing for life after the classroom. Liz Dietz explains how Workday and its design partners are rethinking the tried-and-true methods of the past and building something to support the next generation of students.
Workday Student Admissions, developed with substantial input from more than 20 higher education institutions, helps admissions officers address the deluge of student applications.
Last fall we introduced Workday Student Recruiting, the first application as part of Workday Student. We’ve worked closely with colleges and universities to design this offering and have developed a deep understanding of the pressures they face to get student recruiting right.
In the book “College Unbound,” author Jeff Selingo observes that if online dating sites can “help two people fall in love based on a short questionnaire, we should be able to design a better method for matching students with colleges.” Selingo’s observation highlights one of the biggest challenges that higher institutions face today: recruiting the right students.
Today we announced Workday Student Recruiting, following a year of close collaboration with nine customer design partners from a variety of colleges and universities. It is so important for higher-education institutions to get recruiting right. In this video, I talk a little bit about why it's critical, and what happens when they get it wrong. I wrap that up with a tour of the application.
Since we announced plans to develop Workday Student last fall, we've teamed with nine universities to build this end-to-end student and faculty lifecycle management solution. We knew of the challenges institutions and their students face before we started this work, and we've seen first-hand how older administrative systems fall short of addressing them. Of most concern in our society on the topic of higher education is that too many students, after spending large amounts of money and time on their college experiences, have difficulty finding meaningful employment upon graduation.
