The fall is in full swing!
With just two months left to the year, we’re heading into the season of giving with some big projects underway! Before we dive into our plans for November, let’s do a quick recap of October.
If you have questions on anything mentioned below, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us at support@gouconnect.com!
October Recap
We expanded the Block editor to bring even more flexibility and formatting options to your platform!
We upgraded our text editing tools to utilize the highly flexible Block editor technology. This upgrade allows you to format and style your content with much more control and stylistic capability, to improve your editing experience, and to build more visually engaging posts for your students and stakeholders! Right now, you can opt in to start using this upgrade on your blog content, custom pages, resources, and (new last month!) communities.
If you don’t currently have the block editor enabled, and you’d like to do so, reach out to us at support@gouconnect.com! It’s completely free, and included as we work to add continuously evolving value to your virtual career center.
We continued to offer a free trial of our Candid Career integration!
If you’re not already taking advantage of our integration with Candid Career videos, you can sign up for a free trial to test out the videos on your platform from now until Dec. 31, 2022! Join the 30+ universities who’ve opted into the free trial, below!
We’ve been working on a whole host of behind-the-scenes improvements for you, particularly as they relate to data and analytics.
We spent a good deal of October working on behind-the-scenes upgrades to our analytics capabilities to lay the groundwork for some exciting improvements to our engagement insights coming in 2023. Stay tuned for more on both of these improvements in the coming months!
Upcoming + Continued Priorities for November
We’re working on streamlining our branding process!
We’re working on some behind-the-scenes features that will allow us to respond to logo, font, color, and other standard brand changes at a much quicker pace than previously possible. If you know your university is undergoing a brand transition and you’ll need a brand refresh on your uConnect virtual career center soon, let us know at support@gouconnect.com and we’ll get you shortlisted for this transition!
We’re working on improvements to how you can support diverse student groups on campus!
We won’t say too much yet, but we’re working on some major new features that will allow you to support diverse student populations at scale! More on this in the coming weeks.
We’re working on providing you with more granular engagement data!
Yes, it’s still top of mind for us! We know it’s critical to understand how your stakeholders are engaging with your platform. What do they keep coming back to? What’s getting overlooked? What’s missing from their experience? We’re working continuing to make progress on an upgrade to our data infrastructure that would allow for more granular insights into end-user behavior on your platform. It’s a big project, but we’re so excited with the impact this will have on your ability to craft a strategy around your platform and support your students and stakeholders! Stay tuned!
