Strategic Partnerships The university is actively pursuing alliances with other institutions and industry partners, including a notable ever-expanding Catholic Higher Education Alliance of Rising Institutions in Service and Mission (CHARISM), the University of the Incarnate Word collaboration, and industry ties like the Hollywood on Hudson Film Production Program. This indicates opportunity for bundled or joint offerings, sponsorships, and cross-institution collaborations that could be monetized through shared programs, technology deployments, or credentialing systems.
New Programs Recent initiatives include launching the Hollywood on Hudson Film Production Program and a on-campus Justice Institute through a partnership with Dedication to Community. These expansions signal openness to scalable program platforms, digital learning environments, admissions marketing services, and student recruitment partnerships for new majors or certificate pathways.
Athletics & Engagement Promotion of the athletic department to Director of Athletics and investments in sports-related initiatives suggest opportunities around athletic branding, fan engagement platforms, recruiting technology, streaming or digital media services, and performance analytics tailored to Division III programs.
Regional Access Located in Riverdale, NY with strong ties to New York City resources, the university emphasizes experiential learning and study abroad opportunities. This creates selling points for technology-enabled study programs, global collaboration tools, and partnerships with local businesses for co-op placements, internships, and corporate-sponsored curricula.
Digital & Analytics Adoption of a modern tech stack including Google Ads, Fullstory, Snowplow, Mautic, and WP Engine indicates readiness for marketing automation, user analytics, and customer journey optimization. This presents upsell potential for enhanced analytics dashboards, personalized recruitment campaigns, CRM/MA integration, and training services to maximize digital enrollment efficiency.
