We partnered with DePaul’s Division of Enrollment Management and Marketing to transform and complement their traditional static freshman enrollment report into an interactive, CMS-powered digital experience.

At the same time, the robust content management system allowed annual updates to be handled seamlessly in-house. This digital transformation not only streamlined reporting but also enhanced accessibility and engagement for users navigating complex enrollment data.
