NAIA Forms Partnership with ZeeMee as Enrollment Management Platform
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) announced on Thursday that it has signed an agreement with ZeeMee to become an NAIA Trusted Service Provider for Student Enrollment Engagement.
ZeeMee, one of the leading social media platforms of student enrollment engagement in the nation, provides both students and institutions ways to connect like never before. Institutions are able to use its data dashboard to find insights on student behavior to help predict and impact outcomes from recruitment through graduation.
“We are happy to partner with a leader in this space,” said NAIA President and CEO, Jim Carr. “Our institutions are looking for an advantage when it comes to recruitment and retention, and we are excited for what ZeeMee can bring to them.”
ZeeMee also assists prospective students to find unfiltered information on schools of interest by connecting them to current students, enrollment officers and recruitment specialists. This helps students to find candid information on each school through the comfort of their app.
"With so many student-athletes using ZeeMee today, we are excited to partner with the NAIA to provide a community for their students to connect, build friendships and explore opportunities for the future,” said Adam Metcalf, ZeeMee Co-Founder and Chief Evangelist. “ZeeMee has helped over 2 million students find friends and connect with best fit colleges and universities. We currently partner with many fantastic NAIA institutions, and we look forward to helping students identify the right athletic program and expand the $1.3 billion that NAIA student-athletes have earned in scholarships."
As part of this partnership, ZeeMee is building an NAIA-specific community for prospective students to engage with one another, ask questions about the eligibility process directly to NAIA Eligibility Center staff and better move through the admissions/eligibility processes. This in-app community will increase exposure of the NAIA to ZeeMee’s users helping to expand the network of prospective students interested in the NAIA.
