Ruffalo Noel Levitz Selects GlyphEd to Bring Together Decades of Higher Ed Strategic Experience With Next-Level Data Visualizations


Ruffalo Noel Levitz (RNL) partners with GlyphEd to add GlyphEd's higher education data visualization solutions to RNL's consulting, assessments, and services for enrollment.

April 1, 2019—Colleges and universities are awash in data and analytics. But many struggle to get the maximum strategic benefit out of the data they do have.

To help institutions turn their data into meaningful insights and positive action, Ruffalo Noel Levitz (RNL), the leading provider of higher education enrollment, student success, and fundraising solutions, today announced it will partner with GlyphEd to add GlyphEd’s higher education data visualization solutions to RNL’s consulting, assessments, and services for enrollment.

For 45 years, more than 3,000 colleges and universities have turned to RNL for its expertise, innovations, and analytics. The firm has always used data to drive its strategies and solutions, allowing its client institutions to maximize the impact of their initiatives on student recruitment, retention, and fundraising.

GlyphEd’s groundbreaking interactive data visualization and discovery technology are designed to help colleges and universities improve outcomes for students, academic researchers, and the institution as a whole. The partnership with RNL will give colleges and universities a unique combination of data visualizations and strategic guidance that propel institutions closer to their goals for enrollment and student success.

“Every solution RNL provides for our campus clients is powered by deep data and extensive analytics,” said Todd Abbott, senior vice president at RNL. “Adding GlyphEd’s capabilities to ours gives our clients next-level insights through the most advanced student data visualizations in higher education.”

The partnership between the firms has applications across the student lifecycle—recruitment, student success, and fundraising—but can make a particularly strong impact with student retention and completion. It fills a need in the higher education market for institutions to interpret and act on the often large amounts of student data they collect but do not use to its full potential.

“We are very excited for the opportunity to partner with RNL and to help address the need of higher education institutions to improve their enrollment and retention programs,” said Mark Sloan, CEO of GlyphEd. “This allows RNL to offer our data visualization software to its extensive higher education client base to help them find insights hidden deep in their student and research data.”
