Case Study: Kenyon College achieves greater immigration transparency and faster responses with Envoy Global

Kenyon College Opts for More Immigration Involvement

Kenyon College, a leading liberal arts college in Gambier, OH, struggled with a growing immigration workload—primarily H‑1B cases for faculty—and frustration with a costly, opaque law‑firm process that left staff uninformed. Seeking better transparency and involvement without taking on full responsibility, Kenyon turned to Envoy Global’s cloud‑based immigration management platform, including its Communication Center, to streamline visa handling.

Envoy Global’s solution let Kenyon staff be more involved in case management while reducing legal costs and administrative burden; attorneys are reachable through the Communication Center and Michelle Foster reports getting answers “usually within the hour.” The change improved visibility and responsiveness, saved time, and helped Kenyon (which sponsors 52 U.S. visas) manage expectations more effectively—Kenyon has been an Envoy customer since March 2014.
