From Enrollment to Endowment: A Connected View of the Student and Alumni Lifecycle

Student affairs and advancement teams sit on some of the richest data in higher education, but it's scattered across the SIS, LMS, CRM, financial aid, and advancement systems. That fragmented view breaks exactly where institutions need it most: identifying at-risk students early, improving retention and completion, and sustaining alumni engagement and giving over a lifetime.

Hear directly from Michael Middendorf, Director of Marketing and Digital Strategy at Ave Maria University, on how his institution is turning a fragmented data landscape into immediate, measurable value through its ongoing data transformation. Michael shares what changed on the ground, then IPC Global will show how it works in a live demo powered by Qlik.

In this webinar, attendees will:

• Understand how to unify SIS, LMS, CRM, financial aid, and advancement data into one governed model with Qlik

• Learn to apply predictive analytics and Qlik Predict (Machine Learning) to flag at-risk students earlier and improve retention

• See how real-time dashboards connect enrollment, student success, and alumni engagement on a single platform

• Explore how self-service analytics and Qlik Answers put trusted insight in the hands of advisors and advancement staff

• Gain insight into measuring lifetime engagement, from enrollment through alumni giving, to drive resource and revenue decisions

This session shows how institutions use Qlik Cloud Analytics, Qlik Talend Cloud data integration, and Qlik Predict to unify these sources into a single, governed view of the student to alumni lifecycle. It leverages predictive insights, real-time dashboards, and self-service analytics to make more informed decisions.

Speakers: Igor Alcantara, Director of Data Science & Education at IPC Global (Qlik Partner Ambassador and Qlik MVP), and Michael Middendorf, Director of Marketing and Digital Strategy at Ave Maria University
