Case Study: Cypress College boosts student engagement by 300% with Element451

Cypress College's 300% Student Engagement Surge with Element451

Cypress College, part of the North Orange County Community College District, needed a more efficient way to rebuild enrollment and strengthen student engagement after the pandemic. Staff were relying on manual, time-consuming outreach through Outlook, which limited personalization, scale, and speed. Element451, an AI-powered student engagement platform, gave the college a single place to manage outreach and communications.

By implementing Element451 for the Charger Experience Program and event registration, Cypress College automated personalized outreach, improved event participation, and streamlined administration. The results included an 8.5% increase in full-time equivalent students, a 25% rise in student participation in the Charger Experience Program, and a 300% increase in event registrations in the first quarter of 2024. Cypress College said Element451 helped the team do more work in a more intentional, targeted, and personalized way.
