When colleges and universities went remote due to COVID-19, many were quick to temper expectations of a lasting shift toward distance learning. But while demand for the on-campus experience is expected to remain strong in the post-pandemic era, evidence suggests that remote learning and instruction will indeed play a larger role as well.
Back in the fall of 2018, data from IPEDS already showed that “more than 6.9 million students, or 35.3% of students in the nation, were enrolled in distance education courses at degree-granting postsecondary institutions.” Since the pandemic began, that momentum hasn’t slowed. A Digital Learning Pulse survey released in April 2021 shows that 73 percent of college students either “strongly” or “somewhat” agree that they will take online courses in the future.
As a result, institutions are now recognizing the need to upgrade remote student experiences that were — in large part — hastily designed as temporary solutions to a short-term problem. As they do, the institutions that performed well during the pandemic provide best practices by which to move forward. One such example is the Pratt Institute in New York City — one of the world’s leading colleges of art and design.
We’re excited to be a Platinum sponsor at the Salesforce.org Education Summit 2021, this Wednesday, June 16th!
As certified Salesforce.org Consulting Partners, we are here to help your institution maximize its technology investment. Be sure to stop by our virtual booth to chat live with our knowledgeable consultants.
We are also thrilled to be co-hosting a Breakout Session at 3pm EDT on June 16th with Pratt Institute: How Pratt Evolved its Tradition of “Making” & Transformed the Student Experience
Our own Senior Vice President Carol Thomas will be joined by Pratt’s Vice President of Information Technology & CIO Joseph Hemway and Director of Enterprise Technology Diana Russo to discuss how COVID-19 provoked this storied Art and Design institution to accelerate its digital future.

We’re excited to appear in the spring 2021 edition of Toggle magazine alongside Pratt Institute VP of IT & CIO Joseph Hemway!
Toggle highlighted the impressive job Joe and his team did of responding to the COVID-19 pandemic by migrating Pratt’s world-class campus experience into a student-centered digital experience that felt like being there in person.
Pratt, in partnership with Ferrilli, leveraged Salesforce Communities to achieve their vision of an all-encompassing student-centered online platform; one that will set the standard for such portals going forward.
We were truly honored to work on this project and we are happy that Joe and his team are getting the recognition they deserve for such an impactful result.
“It was probably one of the most challenging projects of my career but also one of the most rewarding,” says Ferrilli CEO Robert Ferrilli. “It’s the top design school in the country and we had to deliver the best digital experience. I’m very happy we chose the Salesforce platform because of its flexibility and rich ecosystem.”
