Smith College Information Architecture

Our vision for future constituent engagement:

• Integrate engagement strategies throughout the life cycle of constituents’ relationship with the college;

• Adopt engagement methods that are integrated with technology; • Use technology to enhance constituents’ interaction with the physical campus, and use data to continually evaluate and improve the effectiveness of our efforts;

• Provide consistent online experience for constituents, but with content that is varied, interactive and customizable;

• Engage constituents when and where they want.

The pilot was undertaken to test a CRM model that provides the following benefits: •  The ability of Constituents to interact both with Smith and with one

another via a consistent and user-friendly online experience; •  The ability to deliver targeted content to Constituents and engage

them in ways they prefer; •  The ability to evaluate and refine our efforts to engage

Constituents using data collected during user interactions.
