We’re ending the year on a high note!
With just one month left to the year, we’re wrapping up some big projects so that we can kick off the new year with a bang! Before we dive into our plans for December, let’s do a quick recap of November.
If you have questions on anything mentioned below, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us at product@gouconnect.com!
November Recap
We added a new content partner, Exponent, to our external blog library!
Exponent helps job seekers land their dream tech career. Perfect for students interested in product, design, data, and engineering! You can check out the Exponent feed in your admin dashboard by logging in and navigating to Publish > Blogs > External Content Library and filtering for Exponent!
We implemented a workflow improvement to your automated alerts feature!
We released an improvement to the signup workflow for your automated alerts feature. If you already have all frequencies of automated alerts enabled, you’re unaffected by this update, but are more than welcome to read on if you’d like the additional context.
Previously, visitors could always ‘sign up’ for daily, weekly, or monthly alerts regardless of whether they were activated or deactivated in the dashboard. (Rest assured, no one was ever sent an alert if you had them deactivated, but they could raise their hand to opt-in to them.)
Moving forward, only the alert frequencies you have activated will appear as options within the visitor sign-up process. This update was released in an effort to simplify the visitor workflow and better align with your communication strategy! Please feel free to reach out to us at support@gouconnect.com if you have questions!
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 for 6 months! Join the 40+ 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 December
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!
