Case Study: Trinity Valley Community College boosts graduation and enrollment with Element451

Trinity Valley Community College Increases Graduation Rates by 18% with Element451

Trinity Valley Community College, a public community college in Athens, Texas with four regional campuses, needed a better way to reach and engage students as enrollment declined, expectations changed, and COVID-19 disrupted traditional outreach. The college was looking for a right-sized, easy-to-use solution that could personalize communication, streamline admissions, and support a small team across multiple departments. Element451, including its AI-powered platform and Bolt AI Agents, fit that need.

With Element451, TVCC implemented personalized landing pages and portals, automated email and SMS campaigns, Tasks for workflow management, Packs for event outreach, and Bolt AI Agents for 24/7 student support. The results were significant: new enrollment increased 10% for 2024-2025, the Spring 2023 graduating class grew 18%, event attendance rose 940%, conversations increased more than 1,000%, and email outreach increased 456%. TVCC also saw a 40% increase in messages after launching Bolt AI Agents and scaled event registration from 97 to 256 in just 30 minutes.
