The latest trends, news, and solutions in Higher Education
Academic advisors play one of the most important roles on campus. Every day they help students choose courses, plan for graduation, solve problems, and stay on track toward their goals. At the same time, advisors manage heavy caseloads, constant emails, and an endless stream of questions and paperwork.
FlightPath was created to make that work easier and more organized.
Here is what a typical day may look like for an advisor using FlightPath:
Faculty activity reporting underpins accreditation, promotion and tenure, and institutional planning. But, every year it's like pulling teeth to collect faculty activities. Faculty don't object to documenting their work; they object to systems and methods that waste time, force repetition, and provide no value in return.
That's why we created Faculty Atlas-- to fix the most common problems with how campuses manage and organize their faculty activity reporting.
Every year, EDUCAUSE publishes a list of the Top 10 Issues Facing Higher Education. These are trends and challenges experts believe will become all the more relevant in the coming year for colleges and universities.
We are proud to offer FlightPath, an enterprise-level advising and student success system, built from the ground-up to be full-featured while still easy-to-use, fully customizable, and affordable for schools of every size.

Most CRMs were not built for higher education.
They were designed for sales pipelines, customers, and deals. When colleges and universities adopt them, they find that the higher ed features were bolted on later, resulting in awkward workflows, complexity, and systems that never quite fit how institutions actually recruit and support students.
Jetstream CRM was built differently from day one.
Effective communication is at the heart of successful advising. Among its many features, FlightPath makes it easy for institutions to connect with students by bringing text and email messaging into one centralized platform.
Advisors can both send and receive text messages and emails, making easy work of staying connected with a full caseload of advisees. Plus, the communication history is attached to the student's record, regardless if they change advisors down the line.
