In a bid to improve the faculty and student experience, the University of Mississippi has selected Banner as its new student information system.
According to the university, Banner – which is education technology solutions provider Ellucian’s Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform – will help deliver a more modern user experience for students, faculty, and staff, as well as help the school more efficiently scale its resources.
Specifically, the new Banner platform will provide the university with “data-rich tools” for student recruitment, enrollment, and retention to workforce analytics, fundraising, and alumni engagement.
“The University of Mississippi prides itself on its commitment to student success and working with Ellucian will enable us to further improve the outstanding support we offer,” said Noel Wilkin, Provost and Executive Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs.
The university said Ellucian’s student-first approach and technology solutions designed exclusively for higher education “align with [the university’s] strategic goals and executive vision.”
“We are thrilled to welcome the University of Mississippi to the Ellucian family,” said Laura Ipsen, President and CEO of Ellucian. “The Ellucian SaaS Platform offers a flexible, open, and integrated student information system designed to drive success for the over 21,000 Ole Miss students. We’re honored to partner with Ole Miss as they continue their mission to lead in innovation, creativity, and opportunity.”
