“We had a recent grad who we saw had spent two hours looking at our teaching degree, our teaching certificate page, so we can share that information with our enrollment team and say you might want to send, you know, an email out about graduate programs and things like that. So we’re now looking at the CRM and saying, ‘Okay, how can we help other departments on campus with it also.’”
