University of Hawaii

Salesforce Implementation Supports Record Enrollment

institutional profile

The University of Hawaii at Manoa (UH Manoa) is a public research university in Honolulu, Hawaii. Established in 1907, it’s the flagship campus of the University of Hawaii system with approximately 18,000 students. University of Hawaii offers over 300 degree programs across 18 colleges and schools, with notable strengths in oceanography, astronomy, and Pacific Islands and Asian studies. Known for its motto “Maluna aʻe o nā lāhui āpau ke ola ke kanaka” (Above all nations is humanity), UH Manoa emphasizes cultural diversity and sustainability. The university is recognized for its tropical agriculture research and diverse student body.

Challenge

University of Hawaii faced significant challenges in managing its growing student population and streamlining its admissions process. The sheer volume of students, coupled with a lack of access to prospect engagement details, made it impossible for the university to communicate strategically with prospective students who had expressed interest. This hindered University of Hawaii’s ability to effectively nurture potential applicants and build meaningful relationships.

Additionally, the Admissions team was burdened by inefficient manual data entry processes, which consumed valuable time and resources. University of Hawaii recognized the need for a comprehensive solution that would address these issues, improve prospect communication, and increase operational efficiency in the admissions department.

Solution

With the help of SIG, University of Hawaii implemented Salesforce and Pardot creating visibility to student interactions and engagements. This allowed the Admissions team to automate targeted communications based upon individual behaviors and interests. Integrating Salesforce with Banner eliminated manual data entry, saving time and creating an efficient process.
