Classroom Technology Services (CTS) has remote access to most equipment in classrooms and meeting rooms on campus and can support users more quickly over the phone than walking over to the room in person. If you have any questions or need assistance using projectors, display ports, webconferencing, or computing equipment in a meeting space, do not hesitate to call CTS for assistance at (530) 898-5475. The 5475 phone extension is staffed during normal business hours (8:00 AM - 7:00 PM Monday – Thursday; 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM Friday) to provide prompt support to all users needing assistance during their scheduled gatherings. CTS also offers training on the use of equipment available in smart classrooms, and classroom technology training support can be requested here.

Did you know that a common cause for 95% of cyber-attacks is human error? With how much of our day-to-day tasks are completed on our smart phones and computers, it is easy to put yourself at risk by unknowingly downloading infected software, using the same password for all of your accounts, or trusting suspicious links. At Chico State, we believe the best practice in keeping our campus safe is supporting our users in staying well-informed of the latest tactics and considerations to keep in mind when using technology. Are you up to date on the latest advice on how to safeguard our campus against physical threats and cyberattacks?

Empowering Student Success: A Collaborative Effort in Student Outreach

Once a student receives an acceptance letter from Chico State, a critical window of opportunity opens for our campus community to extend support and guidance before they finalize their enrollment decision. With over 25,000 admitted students to reach out to this spring semester alone, the Office of Admissions recognized the importance of mobilizing resources efficiently. Enter a collaborative effort between the Office of Admissions and the Division of Information Technology (DoIT), spearheaded by Jeff Logsdon and his team, aimed at leveraging technology and tapping into the energy of our faculty and student body to enhance student outreach.

The Division of IT’s Project and Change Management Office (PCMO) and the Salesforce Enterprise Applications (EAPP) team played a pivotal role in enabling access to prospective student data and telecounseling tools for our colleges in Chico State 360, a constituency relationship management (CRM) tool used to communicate with admitted students. This initiative, managed by Jeff Logsdon in partnership with Wendy Bentley, Ryan Patten, Cheryl Lugo and supported by Todd McGregor, aimed to streamline the recruiting process and provide all academic colleges with the necessary tools to engage with admitted students effectively.

Getting Students in Marketing Courses Involved: The collaboration extended to the College of Business, where the telecounseling tool was integrated into the marketing class curriculum. Under the guidance of Professor Tom Villa, students embarked on outbound sales calls to admitted students, providing them with practical experience while assisting in student yield efforts. 

Data Transparency for All Colleges in Real-time: The creation of a yield dashboard within Chico State 360 proved invaluable in monitoring intents to enroll by college and program. This tool not only facilitated progress tracking but also empowered colleges to make data-driven decisions in their recruitment strategies. With over 100 call campaigns created since February, involving both staff and student assistants, the impact of this collaborative effort is evident. The ability to keep track of call logs and their outcomes within Chico State 360 enables the creation of dashboards and reports that assess the effectiveness of enrollment initiatives and helps in continuously improving our methods and utilizing technology more effectively.
