March & April 2019 Highlights
The Web Team has been working closely with members of the Marketing Committee to develop new web design options that market programs and courses to prospective students. A new homepage design launched in early April allows flexible options to promote course registrations, new programs, and other items of interest directly on the University homepage. The new homepage design also features four spots to highlight recent alumni, as a means of communicating the “return on investment” that FSU students receive when they complete their degree.
FRAMINGHAM.EDU Updates & Analytics
Admissions is working with academic deans and department chairs to develop SMART sheets for each of the University’s academic programs. These sheets will be used by Admissions representatives to communicate to prospective students what about each FSU programs makes it distinguishable/different from a similar program at a competitor institution. Once the SMART sheets for each program are completed, the Web Team plans to use the information from the sheets on each program’s webpage in order to create consistency in messaging and help students compare programs. The new design element shown below will be added to each program page on the FSU website.
FRAMINGHAM.EDU Updates & Analytics
The Web Team is working on a long‐term initiative with The Advising Center, Career Services and Employer Relations, and the Registrar’s Office to overhaul the Explore Programs webpage. This page is the main point of contact for prospective students who are exploring available degree and certificate programs offered by the University. The redesign focuses on establishing connections between student interests or career goals with academic programs. Research indicates that students who are able to see a clear path toward a career goal are more successful in completing their degree on time – which is why we have dubbed this the “Program Pathways” project. We have a projected launch date of September 2019.
Below is an inspiration from another university.
Data Points Our analytics for March and April indicate very little fluctuation (< 1%) in key data points compared to the same time period last year, including website users. Noteworthy is the fact that the website homepage was dedicated to promoting Accepted Students Days throughout the month or March and beginning of April. Looking at the Analytics, the www.framingham.edu/accepted webpage, which provides checklists, event information and instructions for new students on how to make their deposit for the upcoming academic year, saw a 75% growth in traffic over last year. Admissions staff also said they had more students registered to attend Accepted Students Days, compared to last year. Framingham State University Student Threat Assessment Team

Consistent response & proactive Interventions are the goal How TAT Assesses Potential Threats & Determines Course of Action
For Immediate Dangers, FSUPD is contacted Clear emergencies are referred to FSUPD and the EOT Concern is brought to DOS or FSUPD via incident report, police report, email, phone or other communication. An Initial Inquiry is conducted and the concern is triaged at this level. Some concerns are referred to other Network teams (SAT, BERT) or specific departments. Early intervention often occurs here. For a Full Inquiry, the TAT is convened and provides further information and discussion regarding the involved parties and the nature of the concern. The Team collectively evaluates the level of threat, using evidence-based best practices outlined by the National Behavioral Intervention Team Association (NaBITA), an NCHERM organization. Mild, Moderate, Elevated or Critical Individualized Intervention Plan is generated, including monitoring or referrals for persons of concern and methods of support for affected parties Intervention Options
MILD MODERATE • Monitoring • Gather ongoing info from • Connect w/ Resources faculty/staff • Offer a Meeting • Refer to Community Standards • Provide guidance to referring party • Provide skill building • Host a mediated conversation • Evaluate Social Media use Intervention Options
ELEVATED CRITICAL • Wellness Check • Collaborate with local • Require Mental Health police Assessment • Issue mandated • Require SIVRA-35 assessments Assessment • Interim Separation • Evaluate opportunities w/ • Creation of Safety Plans Parents/guardians • No Communication Directives • Interim Actions Looking to the Future: Threat Assessment Prevention, Assessment and Intervention
Violence, as portrayed in the media and realized world-wide, is a reality we must be prepared to address locally therefore it is imperative we continue to train our staff/faculty to manage threats.
Supporting TAT & our network helps FSU stay ahead of the curve.
