Destiny Solutions to Transform UCSB Extension Student Services and Business Operations
Toronto, Ontario - Thursday, July 29, 2010
Destiny Solutions, the leading provider of continuing education management software, announced today that they will provide Destiny OneCE™ to the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB), a globally recognized research university. Destiny One will serve as the platform to transform UCSB Extension’s student services and improve how they engage with learners.
UCSB offers more than 200 majors, degrees, and credentials through its five schools and the Graduate Division. It is also home to UCSB Extension, which offers continuing education, concurrent enrollment (the Open University) and international programs.
“For us to thrive as a 21st century provider of higher education we need to make our staff more productive and efficient, consolidate our technology resources, empower our customers to manage their own self-development trajectories through our offerings, and strengthen customer-relations management and marketing,” said Michael T. Brown, Acting Dean of Extended Learning Services, overseeing UCSB Extension. “The services offered through Extension are very important to UCSB and we have great faculty, staff and students that speak to that. Now we need the tools to grow the school and take our services to the next level.”
“From the outset we have been very impressed with Michael’s strategic forward thinking,” said Shaul Kuper, Founder and CEO of Destiny Solutions. “He is determined to transcend an old and unsupported legacy system and limited resources in his efforts to bring UCSB Extension to the next level of student engagement, and to become a beacon of the UC system. We’re excited to play a role in helping them to obtain their goals and prepare for the future.”
The Destiny OneCE™ platform extends campus systems to empower continuing education and workforce development and engage students in rich, lifelong learning relationships – helping UCSB Extension achieve all of its strategic goals.
