Can we keep up with the demands of Millennials? Is a broader variety of outsourcing part of the answer? From University Business:

Today, nine out of 10 colleges are outsourcing a broad variety of non-academic functions including recruitment, admissions, financial aid, and, impressively, creating virtual communities of distance learners connected through laptops, PDAs, and, increasingly, mobile communication devices. These same students have increasingly accessed distributed student services for three simple reasons–convenience, timeliness, and interactive communication–read as engagement.

Though it may seem counter-intuitive for our generation, these millennial students find satisfaction in instantaneous recognition, feedback, and advisement. Unlike their older brothers and sisters, these students are seemingly intolerant of commuting, parking, and waiting in line for class registration. Instead, they want a virtual, convenient one-stop admissions, enrollment, and student support experience, delivered through the wonders of digital connections with the campus of their choice.
