What LSMSA Says About FlightPath
Angela Robinson Couvillion, M.Ed., Registrar at LSMSA, has worked with FlightPath for more than a decade across both higher education and K-12 environments.
As Angela explained in her testimonial about FlightPath:
I love that it lets me quickly and easily check a student’s progress toward graduation as well as run reports to monitor the progress of the student body as a whole. It’s transformed our advising process, making it easy to see how a student is doing at all points in their academic career.
Our partnership continues to evolve as LSMSA identifies new opportunities to improve its academic workflows.
