Ellucian,
the leading provider of software and services built to power higher
education, today announced a new engagement with Naropa
University (Naropa), a private liberal arts university located in
Boulder, Colorado. Naropa University will implement Ellucian cloud
solutions to create a unified technology framework that supports the
complete student journey from prospect through graduation.
“Because our approach to learning incorporates Eastern wisdom studies
into traditional Western scholarship, we must attract, enroll and engage
students that are inspired by our unique education to remain
competitive,” said Naropa University VP Operations, Tyler Kelsch. “This
means implementing solutions and services that support a modern and
personalized experience for students and prospects has become absolutely
crucial to our success.”
Ellucian
Colleague will help Naropa deliver a coherent student experience and
achieve better organizational alignment through data integration across
departments. New capabilities can drive faculty and student engagement
and productivity; and students will gain greater visibility into their
academic standing, putting them in control of their own progress and
timeline to graduation. Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) delivery in the
Ellucian Cloud enhances scalability, security and continuity, allowing
Naropa to easily access the most current application releases and
advanced functionality. Naropa joins Ellucian’s Colleague cloud
community, now more than 35 institutions strong.

Ethos, Ellucian
Workflow and Ellucian

business processes, and enable data-informed decision-making that drives
student success, institutional growth and operational efficiency –
making Naropa a more empowered campus.
Ellucian will also provide full technology management services to Naropa
in the form of on-site end-to-end IT services staff, including strategic
direction and hands-on management. Ellucian subject matter experts will
work to ensure that systems are optimized and adopted, enabling the
university’s leadership to focus on key issues such as increasing
enrollment and student success. Naropa will also use Ellucian’s grants
services to help secure and manage grants, and Ellucian’s academic
support services to develop and execute on a roadmap for academic
technology.
“We are thrilled to partner with Naropa to implement unified cloud
solutions and services that will help the university modernize existing
processes, attract new students, transform the student experience, and
continue to thrive in today’s higher education market,” said Ellucian
President and CEO, Laura Ipsen. “It is exciting to see institutions join
