Montco Connect

The Montco Connect project was initiated to improve the effectiveness of student communications. While the college utilizes email to reach students, open rates do not exceed 40 percent. Additionally, text messaging is effective, but rendered useless should a student opt out. The Connect project attempts to leverage the fact that the Web portal is required to access all Montgomery County Community College digital systems, assuming more students will see and interact with targeted or engaging communications. Additionally, the platform has combined online clubs previously served through a separate platform. Lastly, the platform includes a companion mobile app.
