Those in higher education have made substantial investments in communications technology on their campuses, ranging from video and teleconferencing, to digital signage, to full-blown broadcast studios and more.
These vast existing resources, when coupled with a student base and campus culture prone to embrace video, places colleges in a prime position to dramatically enhance their use of UC.
Not only will this result in more impactful, cost-efficient communications that unify thousands of students and staff simultaneously, because video can be easily integrated and managed—but savvier institutions will find themselves on the fast track to improving their reputations as academic leaders and attracting potential students.
