GoalQuest Partners With Pace University
GoalQuest deploys eCRUIT™ and EYOp™ programs to strengthen university's recruitment and enrollment yield efforts

New York, New York-- October 21, 2003 -

Pace University has enlisted GoalQuest, Inc., a software company providing automated, intelligence-based enrollment management tools, to develop customized programs for both its prospective and admitted students.

GoalQuest employs a suite of Web-based tools that deliver highly customized programs to prospective, admitted and enrolled students; alumni; and parents of each of these audiences. The company's core products include the proprietary eCRUIT, EYOp, PICS™ and AlumNet™ programs, which dramatically improve communication effectiveness and efficiency with school constituents.

Each GoalQuest product is based on a proprietary messaging technology that deploys "nuggets" of information and engaging activities to a school's target audience, while monitoring engagement in that content over time. GoalQuest's Enrolligence™ index then delivers real-time engagement data, giving schools unprecedented communication intelligence with which to make more informed decisions. This dynamic knowledge base can help impact acceptance and enrollment yield, student attrition, alumni development and other key enrollment and development metrics.

Pace will utilize GoalQuest's eCRUIT product to target desirable prospective students and to increase the number of applications overall. eCRUIT's Web-based sessions are designed to engage high school prospects with highly relevant content, such as expert tips on college selection strategies and practical advice on creating successful applications.

EYOp will be deployed to Pace's accepted students, providing the school with critical intelligence on yield likelihood as well as attitudinal profiles that can be used for targeted admissions follow-up.

"GoalQuest is thrilled to welcome Pace as a new client," said Peter Kraft, GoalQuest's Chief Executive Officer. We're equally excited about the substantive and quantifiable results that our technology will bring to their aggressive admissions goals."

According to Jennifer Cafiero, Director of Enrollment Planning at Pace, "we chose GoalQuest for their unique approach to increasing both the quantity and quality of our application pool. Given the large number of applications that Pace sees each year, these tools further offer the intelligence we need to better target our recruiting efforts and meet our freshman class enrollment goals."

Pace will take advantage of GoalQuest's new program features, including integrated Live Alerts to narrowcast time-sensitive announcements and custom survey and assessment modules to help assess the "fit" of prospects and the yield likelihood of admitted students.
