TopSchool to Present at MAPCS Annual Conference

Session Helps Institutions Create Student Profiles to Drive Recruitment, Retention and Student Success

Denver, CO - October 13, 2011 - TopSchool, a leading SaaS provider of Student Lifecycle Management (SLM) solutions for higher education, is leading a session at the upcoming Massachusetts Association of Private Career Schools (MAPCS) 2011 Annual Professional Development Conference.  Attendees will learn how to create student profiles and better leverage student information to target the right students for the right programs, and help them succeed.

"Student profiles enable colleges and universities to deliver a more personalized education experience," said Justin McMorrow, co-founder and Chief Customer Officer of TopSchool.  "Schools that effectively use them will be able to identify students' demands early on and better understand students' needs, enabling them to deliver a higher level of service as they work to recruit and retain students."

McMorrow's presentation, "Using Student Profiles to Recruit, Retain and Increase Student Success" will provide insight into the demographic, behavioral/psychographic and educational information schools should be collecting and tracking for each prospect and student. By relying on student profile data in their recruitment and retention efforts, colleges will have greater insight on their ideal student, enabling them to make sure that a student who is likely to succeed actually does.

McMorrow has presented on the topic of student profiles at several education events, including DETC and APSCU, as well as a number of state based career and proprietary college conferences, such as New York (APC), California (CAPPS), Florida (FAPSC) and as the keynote presenter at Minnesota (MCCA). McMorrow co-founded TopSchool, and prior to this, served in a number of executive roles at eCollege. 

TopSchool is a platinum sponsor of the MAPCS event, which takes place October 21, 2011 at the FourPoints Conference Center in Norwood, MA.  McMorrow's session begins at 10:45 a.m. EDT.  MAPCS is the only statewide association representing the industry which is comprised of private career and vocational educational schools in Massachusetts.
