Case Study: Culver-Stockton College achieves a digital, streamlined room-draw process with Jenzabar Student

Culver-Stockton College Digitalizes Room Draw With Jenzabar Student During COVID-19 Pandemic

Culver-Stockton College, a private liberal arts college in Missouri with roughly 1,100 full‑time students and a Jenzabar client for more than 25 years, was managing a highly manual, paper‑based room draw process in Microsoft Excel that required students to attend in‑person, three‑day selection events. The COVID‑19 pandemic accelerated the college’s need to digitalize and upgrade from its legacy system to Jenzabar Student within the Jenzabar One suite.

Using Jenzabar Student, Jenzabar automated lottery‑number generation and moved the entire room draw online, giving Residence Life real‑time visibility into assignments, capacity and trends. The solution significantly reduced the time required for the room draw, enabled staff to segment selection windows and course‑correct issues before students experienced them, and freed staff to focus on individualized student support.
