Long-time CollegeNET customer, Emory University, has come up with yet ANOTHER innovative use for the Series25® scheduling and event management software it licenses from CollegeNET: They are now using the system to manage a pool of no-cost teleconference bridges available to the campus community.
According to Jennifer Stevenson, Lead Application Developer, and Series25 Administrator at Emory, the project spawned from the IT Services desk, where management of the growing volume of requests had become overwhelming. The bridges are now available upon request to students, faculty, interns and medical staff--- anyone with Emory University and Emory Healthcare credentials. Requests are processed by designated 'approvers' in 25Live, using native approval workflow.
For an institution comprised of two higher education campuses and a leading healthcare provider, the eight no-cost bridges have become among the most popular 'spaces' requested in 25Live--- barely into its second year, the program managed over 1000 conference bridge requests in Q4 of 2014 alone, according to Jennifer. She is now using 25Live reports to analyze bridge use patterns and determine whether additional bridges are needed.
If you have an interesting 25Live implementation story you'd like to share with the CollegeNET community, please contact your account manager. We'd love to hear from you!

Stories from the Road: Ships, Not Boats!
Boats, well ships, and my maritime visits. During 2014 I visited two of our clients with “Maritime” in their names: California Maritime Academy and Massachusetts Maritime Academy. Both campuses are, obviously, on the water, and both have large ocean going vessels [ships, not boats] berthed and ready for cadet training cruises.
But I also discovered that we have a third client with an affiliated maritime academy, Northwestern Michigan College and the Great Lakes Maritime Academy. The GLMA is the only fresh water maritime academy in the US and also has a ship for training cruises on the Great Lakes, who knew! What I found at all three locations is that 25Live is used, or will be used, to book all campus space … land or sea … now if I can find an aviation academy.

“When I’m not on a break (even when I was on a break) I post no matter what, five times a day. To me it is about the community. Yes, I like to win, but it is more about the support.
I have gotten a lot of support from this community.”
CollegeNET.com is the popular scholarship site where students determine who will win money for college.
