Case Study: Aquinas College achieves distance-learning readiness and improved campus collaboration with Ellucian Managed Services and Colleague

Prepared to transition to distance learning

Aquinas College, a private four-year institution with under 3,000 students, faced years of underinvestment in technology and needed a deeper IT bench to break down campus silos and meet modern student expectations. To prepare for new operating models and the shift to distance learning, Aquinas partnered with Ellucian, using Ellucian Managed Services and Ellucian Colleague to better integrate systems and improve cross-departmental collaboration.

Ellucian implemented managed services and Colleague to centralize support, streamline communication, and enable data-driven decision making; as a result, Aquinas saw improved collaboration across campus, increased confidence in IT’s ability to manage systems during the COVID-19 crisis, and was positioned for successful distance learning for faculty, students, and staff.
