Terra Dotta, a leading global engagement education technology provider, has announced that the University of Missouri System has selected the Terra Dotta Global Engagement Platform to centralize the management of its international programs across four academic campuses: the University of Missouri in Columbia (MU), the University of Missouri-Kansas City (UMKC), Missouri University of Science and Technology (S&T) and the University of Missouri-St. Louis (UMSL).
Terra Dotta's global engagement platform will help standardize workflows, communication and documentation across the University of Missouri System's many international programs and partnerships, pulling in relevant cross-campus student data to enable advanced global engagement analytics.
"The University of Missouri System values providing our students with global academic and professional opportunities, and bringing all of our international programs on the same platform will help increase efficiencies and provide visibility into opportunities for growth," said Mary Stegmaier, vice provost for International Programs and associate professor at the University of Missouri.
The integration of all of Terra Dotta's cloud-based solutions into an enterprise platform will help manage the processes and data for outgoing study abroad, incoming international student and scholar services, agreements and travel risk management – including access to the award-winning AlertTraveler® mobile solution.
"We are thrilled to work with the University of Missouri System to provide a centralized platform for every aspect of their international education programs," said Ben Psillas, CEO of Terra Dotta. "The automation and efficiencies gained are great for the front-line international education professional staff - saving time and resources that can be better spent advising students - and the system-wide visibility and data that will help advance global priorities is a game changer."
