“Our systems weren’t serving us, and teams were spending countless hours trying to make sense of data. As one of my first acts as CEO, I knew we needed a partner to move forward together. That’s why we chose Ellucian.”

Dr. Melva K. Wallace / President and CEO

“I’m most excited by our partnership with Ellucian at Western Sydney University. They’re really working with us to build a really tight community. I think that’s the most important thing.”

Libby Hughan / Senior Manager, Student Systems

“Student success looks different for everyone — from GEDs to workforce or university goals. Ellucian’s SaaS tools reduce backend DBA work and let our teams focus on what’s unique across institutions. Their higher ed experience stands out.”
